Professor Frank Nabarro insists that all senior physics majors take his notorious physics aptitude test. The test is so tough that anyone not going on to a career in physics has no hope of passing, whereas 55% of the seniors who do go on to a career in physics still fail the test. Further, 75% of all senior physics majors in fact go on to a career in physics. Assuming that you fail the test, what is the probability that you will not go on to a career in physics? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
