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

Explanation:

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).
$P=\frac{24.3}{39.1}\approx0.62$

Answer:

$0.62$
