A test for a genetic disorder can detect the disorder with 92% accuracy. However, the test will incorrectly report positive results for 5% of those without the disorder. If 14% of the population has the disorder, find the probability that a person testing positive actually has the genetic disorder. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
