Explanation:

The total number of students is 322000.

The number of female students is 155000, and the number of male students is 167000.

The number of females who dropped out is 24000, and the number of males who dropped out is 10400.

The probability that a student is a woman and dropped out can be calculated using the formula:

P(Female and Dropped Out) = P(Dropped Out | Female) x P(Female)

where P(Dropped Out | Female) is the probability of a female student dropping out, and P(Female) is the probability of a student being female.

P(Dropped Out | Female) = 24000/155000 = 0.1548

P(Female) = 155000/322000 = 0.4814

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

P(Female and Dropped Out) = 0.1548 x 0.4814 = 0.0745

Therefore, the probability that a student is a woman and dropped out is 0.0745 or approximately 7.45%.
