Probability

A row of 4 decorative bulbs is wired so that each bulb independently turns on with probability $\frac12$ when the display is powered up (and stays off otherwise). You glance at the display and see that at least one of the four bulbs is on. Given this, what is the probability that all four bulbs are on?

Give the answer as an exact fraction.
