The distribution (%) of people working in the night shift in the Sports industry is 18%, and among these, the distribution (%) of females is 20%.

So, let's calculate the total number of people working in the night shift in the Sports industry:

18% of 80500 = 0.18 × 80500 = 14490

The number of females in the Sports industry working the night shift is:

20% of 14490 = 0.20 × 14490 = 2898

Now, let's calculate the percentage of these females to the total number of people working in the night shift from all the industries together:

(2898 / 80500) × 100 = 3.6%

So, the number of females working in the night shift from the Sports industry is 3.6% of the total number of people working in the night shift from all the industries together.
