Assume that al has in fact been using the illegal drug what


Suppose an employee is suspected of having used an illegal drug and is given two tests that operate independently of each other. Test A has probability 0.86 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used. Test B has probability 0.87 of being positive if the illegal drug has been used.

The company requires that an employee, Al Capone, take and pass both tests to keep his job. Assume that Al has, in fact, been using the illegal drug. What is the probability that neither test is positive (and thus Al gets to keep his job)?

Express your answer in decimal form to 3 decimal places.
