ANSWER:

2.2%

Explanation:

The probability would be the quotient between the number of people with these characteristics (female, brown hair) and the total number of people


\begin{gathered} p(\text{female and brown) }=(66)/(548+876+82+612+716+66)=(66)/(1450)=0.022 \\ p(\text{female and brown) }=2.2\text{\%} \end{gathered}
