### Probability and Statistics: Gender and Grade Distribution

#### Given Data:
A study was conducted where a group of students was administered a test, and the summary of their grades and gender is tabulated below:

|        | A   | B   | C   | Total |
|--------|-----|-----|-----|-------|
| Male   | 3   | 8   | 14  | 25    |
| Female | 19  | 20  | 6   | 45    |
| **Total**  | **22** | **28** | **20** | **70**    |

#### Problem:
If one student is chosen at random from this group, find the probability that the student selected is a female and received a "B" grade.

#### Solution:
Total number of students = 70

Number of females who received a "B" grade = 20

The probability of selecting a female student who got a "B" grade is calculated as follows:

\[ 
\text{Probability (Female and B)} = \frac{\text{Number of females who got B}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{20}{70} = 0.2857 
\]

**Conclusion:**
The probability that a randomly selected student from this group is a female who received a "B" grade is 0.2857 (rounded to four decimal places).
