100%. Probability. of a randomly chosen employee being either male or female.
But let's see....
overall figures, percentage of total persons who are
male supervisors...18% (60% of 30%)
female supervisors...12% (40% of 30%)
male employees...28% (40% of 70%)
female employees...42% (60% of 70%)
total female...54%
total male...46%
The probability for each is the percentage of total employees who are each gender, and is given above.
That is to say, choose a random employee (meaning a supervisor or an employee...and if you do indeed mean that, you should really use a different term in one case), and there is a 54% chance that they are female, and a 46% chance that they are male.

"what is the probability that a randomly choosen employee is a male or female?"
100%, unless there's that grey area of one being both or neither.
Perhaps reasking the question might get you the right answer, but this is quite poorly worded.

40% male, 60% female
reasoning: the question states that 40% of employees are male so that means 60% must be female (unless the question is not using the term employee consistenty).
