Research has shown that approximately 1 woman in 500 carries a mutation of a particular gene. About 59% of women with this mutation develop bladder cancer. Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will carry the mutation of this gene and will develop bladder cancer. The probability that a randomly selected woman will carry the gene mutation and develop bladder cancer is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
