A sample of 500 full-time employees were surveyed on their feelings about their benefits package. 78 of those studied did not use all of their vacation days last year, yet 94 of those studied expressed a desire for more vacation time. Based on this sample, if a full-time employee is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she is content with the vacation allowance? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.
