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.
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	4.5	1.1

p(citizen was an owner) ≈ \boxed{} (round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of movers

Add all values in the table:
$$11.7 + 2.8+0.3 + 18.7+4.5 + 1.1=39.1$$

Step2: Calculate number of owner - movers

Add owner - related values:
$$11.7+2.8 + 0.3=14.8$$

Step3: Calculate probability

Use the formula \(P=\frac{\text{Number of owner - movers}}{\text{Total number of movers}}\):
$$P=\frac{14.8}{39.1}\approx0.38$$

Answer:

\(0.38\)
