Assume that Math 118 students are comprised in the following way: 60% have never taken it, 30% have taken it once already, and 10% have taken it two or more times already. 70% of first-time students pass the course, 40% of second-time students pass the course, and 20% of students who have taken it two or more times pass the course. A Math 118 student is randomly selected and found to have failed the course. What is the probability that it was the student’s second time taking the course? Round your answer to 4 decimal places
