Question

In a certain year, the U.S. Senate was made up of 53 Democrats, 45 Republicans, and 2 Independents who caucus with the Democrats. In a survey of the U.S. Senate conducted at that time, every senator was asked whether he or she owned at least one gun. Of the Democrats, 18 declared themselves gun owners; of the Republicans, 27 of them declared themselves gun owners; none of the Independents owned guns. If a senator participating in that survey was picked at random and turned out to be a gun owner, what was the probability that he or she was a Democrat? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
