Another stat correction problem!

Below are listed the numbers of engineers in various fields by gender:

Mechanical Electrical Biomedical total

Male 9,601 4,357 6,318 20276

Female 2,039 1,181 5,168 8388

Total 11640 5538 11486 28664


If one engineer is chosen at random, find the probability that the person chosen is an electrical engineer, given that she is female.


I got P(Electrical | Female) = 1181/8388, not reducible. Is that correct?
