To find the probability that a randomly selected person from this group is conservative, given they have attended college, we first need to calculate the total number of people who have attended college and are conservative.

Total number of people who have attended college: 14 + 20 + 26 = 60
Number of people who have attended college and are conservative: 26

Now, we can find the probability by dividing the number of people who have attended college and are conservative by the total number of people who have attended college:

P(Conservative | College) = 26/60 = 0.4333

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person from this group is conservative, given they have attended college, is 0.4333 or 43.33%.
