A certain disease is known to be found in women over 60 with probability 0.04. A blood test for the detection of the disease is known to incorrectly give a negative result 20% of the time and incorrectly give a positive result 3% of the time. If a woman over 60 has taken the test and received a negative result, what is the probability that she has the disease? The probability is (Round to five decimal places as needed.)
