Question

Physicians and pharmacists sometimes fail to inform patients adequately about the proper application of prescription drugs and about the precautions to take in order to avoid potential side effects. One method of increasing​ patients' awareness of the problem is for physicians to provide patient medication instruction​ (PMI) sheets. A local medical​ survey, however, has found that only 23% of the doctors who prescribe drugs frequently distribute PMI sheets to their patients. Assume that 23% of all patients receive the PMI sheet with their prescriptions and that 16%receive the PMI sheet and are hospitalized because of a​ drug-related problem. What is the probability that a person will be hospitalized for a​ drug-related problem given that the person received the PMI​ sheet?

The probability is____________ ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
