An engineering school reports that 53% of its students are male (M), 31% of its students are between the ages of 18 and 20 (A), and that 25% are both male and between the ages of 18 and 20. What is the probability of a random student being chosen who is a female and is not between the ages of 18 and 20? Your answer should be to two decimal places.
