By the definition of the conditional probability, in this case 


    the conditional probability that a randomly selected employee from this company is married given that she is female


    is equal to the ratio of the probability that an employee is female and married (which is 0.19)

    to the probability that an employee at a company is female (which is 0.36).



Therefore, the ANSWER to the problem's question is


    P =  = 0.527778.
