Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were allergic to penicillin, Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy. The doctor performed a skin test to see whether Nathan would react to it. The test is 98% accurate. If the test predicts that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin, what is the probability after the test that Nathan is not allergic to the drug?
A. 0.1135
