A college sends a survey to selected members of the class of 2019. Of the 1,942 people who graduated that year, 714 were women, of whom 106 went on to graduate school. Of the male graduates, 171 went on to graduate school. An alumni member is selected at random. What is the probability that the alumni is female? Note: For any final answer that has up to four decimal places, enter your answer without rounding the number. For any answers with more than four decimal values, round your final answer to four decimal places.
