[tex] \frac{12}{12+78} = \frac{12}{90} = 0,1333(3)[/tex] 

The correct answer is:

0.13

Explanation:

Using the two-way table, we focus on the column labeled "Positive Test." There are 78+12 = 90 people who had a positive test. Out of these, 12 were not pregnant. This is a probability of 12/90 = 0.133333 = 0.13.
