Solution
Step 1 ：There are 6 females in the class, 3 of whom can speak French. So, the probability that a randomly chosen female student can speak French is \(\frac{3}{6}\) or \(0.5\).
Step 2 ：There are 5 students who can speak French (3 females and 2 males). So, the probability that a randomly chosen student who can speak French is female is \(\frac{3}{5}\) or \(0.6\).
Step 3 ：Final Answer: The probability that a randomly chosen female student can speak French is \(\boxed{0.5}\). The probability that a randomly chosen student who can speak French is female is \(\boxed{0.6}\).
