Question 1130292: Suppose a study of the faculty at U.S. medical schools revealed that 38% of the faculty were women and 62% were men. Of the female faculty, 32% were full/associate professors, 47% were assistant professors, and 21% were instructors. Of the male faculty, 52% were full/associate professors, 38% were assistant professors, and 10% were instructors. If a faculty member at a U.S. medical school selected at random held the rank of full/associate professor, what is the probability that the faculty member was female? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
