    0.476

    Explanation:

    First we need to determine the total number of employees and then the total number of women to get the probability that the selected employee is a woman.

    Probability is the number of possible outcome over the number of total outcome.

    Total number of employees = 120 + 40 + 90 = 250

    Total number of women = (40% * 120) + (65% * 40) + (50% * 90)

    = 48 + 26 + 45

    = 119

    The probability that the selected employee is a woman = 119/250

    = 0.476

    = 119
