After giving a test to a group of students, below is the summary of grades by gender.

A	B	C	Total
Male	13	9	7	29
Female	8	5	20	33
Total	21	14	27	62

If a student was randomly chosen, find the probability that the student earned a C. Leave your answer as a reduced fraction.

To find the probability that a randomly chosen student earned a grade of C, we need to focus on the total number of students who earned a C and divide that by the total number of students in the group.

Here is the breakdown:

- Total number of students who earned a C: \( 27 \) (both male and female).
- Total number of students in the group: \( 62 \).

Thus, the probability \( P(C) \) that a randomly chosen student earned a C is:

\[
P(C) = \frac{\text{Number of students who earned a C}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{27}{62}
\]

The fraction \( \frac{27}{62} \) is already in its simplest form because 27 and 62 have no common factors other than 1.

So, the probability that a randomly chosen student earned a C is:

\[
\boxed{\frac{27}{62}}
\]
