I need help on how to figure out this question!

A track coach made a two way table to show his runners gender and running category.

Male: Sprints- 16 Middle distance- 11 Long distance- 9

Female: Sprints- 12 Middle distance- 14 Long distance- 5

To the nearest hundredth, what is the probability that a randomly chosen female runs sprints?

This obviously says that order doesn't matter as they mention "randomly chosen". I am just having trouble figuring out how to solve this.
