Question

the table shows the distribution, by age and gender, of the 30.0 million people in a certain region who live alone. use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected person living alone in the region is male.

	ages 18-24	ages 25-34	ages 35-44	ages 45-64	ages 65-74	ages ≥75	total
male	0.8	2.5	2.2	4.9	1.2	1.4	13.0
female	0.6	1.4	1.9	5.0	2.8	5.3	17.0
total	1.4	3.9	4.1	9.9	4.0	6.7	30.0

the probability is
(type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and male population

Total people living alone: \( 30.0 \) million.
Male population living alone: \( 13.0 \) million.

Step2: Calculate probability

Probability \( = \frac{\text{Male population}}{\text{Total population}} = \frac{13.0}{30.0} \approx 0.43 \).

Answer:

\( 0.43 \)
