Question
the table shows the number, expressed in millions, of citizens who moved in 2004, categorized by where they moved and whether they were an owner or a renter. find the probability, expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, that a randomly selected citizen who moved in 2004 was a renter. (round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) p(citizen was a renter)≈□
number of people in a certain country who moved in 2004, in millions
| owner | renter | |
|---|---|---|
| moved to different region | 2.9 | 4.6 |
| moved to different country | 0.3 | 1.1 |
Step1: Calculate total number of people who moved
Add up all the values in the table.
$18.6 + 11.6+4.6 + 2.9+1.1+0.3=39.1$
Step2: Calculate number of renters who moved
Add up the renter - related values.
$18.6 + 4.6+1.1 = 24.3$
Step3: Calculate the probability
Probability is the number of favorable outcomes (renters who moved) divided by the total number of outcomes (total people who moved).
$P=\frac{24.3}{39.1}\approx0.62$
