Of those who were retired, 35% answered no, and 65% answered yes. Of those who were pre-retired, 28% answered no, and 72% answered yes. If a respondent in the survey was selected at random and had answered yes to the question, what is the probability that he or she was retired? (Round your answer to three decimal places).
