The easiest way to solve this problem is to make a table, based on 100 total person

                     Prefer week ends            Prefer week days    Total

Female                10                                  55                        65

Male                    15                                   20                       35

Total                    25                                   75                      100

The bold numbers are conclusions. The plain numbers are data.

The probability that a randomly selected club member is female, given that that person prefers swimming on weekends is [10 / 25] =  0.40
