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.
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	18.7	4.6	1.1

find the probability, expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, that a randomly selected citizen who moved in 2004 was a renter.
p(citizen was a renter)≈□
(round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of movers

First, find the total number of owners and renters. For owners: \(11.8 + 2.8 + 0.3 = 14.9\). For renters: \(18.7 + 4.6 + 1.1 = 24.4\). Total movers: \(14.9 + 24.4 = 39.3\).

Step2: Calculate probability for renter

Probability is renter total divided by total movers: \(\frac{24.4}{39.3} \approx 0.62\) (rounded to nearest hundredth).

Answer:

\(0.62\)
