Suppose there is a 11.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is a jogger. In addition, there is a 15.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female, given that he or she jogs. What is the probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs? Would it be unusual to randomly select a person aged 35 years or older who is female and jogs? The probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs is (Round to three decimal places as needed.).
