To find the probability that the degree is not a bachelor's, given that the recipient is female, we need to find the number of female recipients with degrees other than a bachelor's and divide it by the total number of female recipients.

From the table, the number of female recipients with an Associate's degree is 345.

The total number of female recipients is 843 + 345 = 1188.

Therefore, the probability that the degree is not a bachelor's, given that the recipient is female is 345/1188 ≈ 0.29 or 29%.
