**Test Results Summary**

A test was administered to a group of students, and their grades are distributed by gender as shown in the table below:

|         | A  | B  | C | Total |
|---------|----|----|---|-------|
| Male    | 9  | 13 | 6 | 28    |
| Female  | 20 | 19 | 2 | 41    |
| Total   | 29 | 32 | 8 | 69    |

**Probability Calculation**

If one student is chosen at random, determine the probability that the student did NOT receive an "A."

_Computation_

1. Total number of students: 69
2. Number of students who did not receive an A (i.e., received B or C): 32 + 8 = 40

**Probability:**

\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of students who did not receive an A}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{40}{69} \]
