Question

the table shows the distribution, by age and gender, of the 30.5 million people in a certain region who live alone. use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected person in the region is a woman in the 18-24 age range living alone. (type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed) the probability is \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the probability formula

The probability \(P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, the number of favorable outcomes (women in 18 - 24 age range) is \(0.7\) million, and the total number of outcomes (total people) is \(30.5\) million.

Step2: Calculate the probability

\(P=\frac{0.7}{30.5}\)
