    Given that the new operator met the quota, that means that she's either one of the 90% of the trained operators, or one of the 65% of the untrained operators. And since the split between the trained and untrained operators is 50/50, we have

    0.90 * 0.5 = 0.45 of all the operators have been trained and meet quota. 0.65 * 0.5 = 0.325 of all the operators have not been trained and meet quota.

    So 0.45 + 0.325 = 0.775 of all operators meet quota.

    So the probability of her being trained is

    0.45 / 0.775 = 0.580645161 = 58.0645161%

    Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 58%
