Dengue-fever viruses are carried by mosquitoes. There are several different serotypes of the dengue virus, and one study showed that, of all mosquitoes that carried serotype A, a proportion of 0.43 also carried serotype B. If the proportion of serotypes A and B in the mosquito population are 0.1 and 0.87, respectively, what is the probability that a randomly selected mosquito carrying serotype B also carries serotype A? Round your answer to five decimal places.
