In a management trainee programme, women make up 80% of the participants, while males make up 20%. Females attended college in greater numbers than boys, with 90 percent of females attending college and 77 percent of males attending college. At random, a management trainee is chosen. What are the chances that the person chosen is a woman who did not go to college?
