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 an owner who moved to a different region. p(citizen was an owner who moved to a different region) ≈ (round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of citizens who moved

We sum up all the values in the table.

Step2: Identify the number of owners who moved to a different region

From the table, the number of owners who moved to a different region is \(2.8\) (in millions).

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, the number of favorable outcomes (owners who moved to a different region) is \(2.8\) and the total number of outcomes (total number of movers) is \(39.3\). So \(P = \frac{2.8}{39.3}\approx0.07\)

Answer:

\(0.07\)
