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 who moved within the same region. (round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

	owner	renter
moved to different region	2.9	4.6
moved to different country	0.3	1.0

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people who moved

First, sum up all the values in the table. Total \(=18.7 + 11.7+4.6 + 2.9+1.0+0.3=39.2\)

Step2: Calculate number of rent - ers who moved within the same region

The number of rent - ers who moved within the same region is \(18.7\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of rent - ers who moved within the same region}}{\text{Total number of people who moved}}\)
\(P=\frac{18.7}{39.2}\approx0.48\)

Answer:

\(0.48\)
