A town recently dismissed 8 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions. The town had 6 employees over 50 years of age and 18 under 50. If the dismissed employees were selected at random, what is the probability that no more than 1 employee was over 50? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.
