Question
**Probability of Obtaining a Grade C**

When a test was administered to a group of students, their grades and gender distribution were recorded as follows:

|       | A  | B  | C  | Total |
|-------|----|----|----|-------|
| Male  | 12 | 2  | 16 | 30    |
| Female| 6  | 7  | 18 | 31    |
| Total | 18 | 9  | 34 | 61    |

The task is to determine the probability that a randomly chosen student received a grade of C.

- Total number of students who scored C: 34
- Total number of students: 61

**Probability Calculation**
The probability \( P \) that a student chosen at random received a grade of C is calculated as:

\[ P(\text{C}) = \frac{\text{Number of students with C}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{34}{61} \]

You can express your answer as either a fraction or a decimal.
