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 an owner who moved to a different country.
number of people in a certain country who moved in 2004, in millions

	moved to same region	moved to different region	moved to different country
renter	18.8	4.5	1.0

p(citizen was an owner who moved to a different country) ≈ \square
(round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of movers

First, we sum up all the values in the table. For owners: \(11.8 + 2.8 + 0.3 = 14.9\) million. For renters: \(18.8 + 4.5 + 1.0 = 24.3\) million. Then total movers: \(14.9 + 24.3 = 39.2\) million.

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes

The number of owners who moved to a different country is \(0.3\) million.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability is favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes. So \(P=\frac{0.3}{39.2}\approx0.01\) (rounded to nearest hundredth).

Answer:

\(0.01\)
