The probability that a randomly selected citizen who moved in 2004 was an owner who moved to a different country is approximately 0.01.

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 country can be calculated by dividing the number of owners who moved to a different country by the total number of people who moved in 2004.

From the table, we can see that the number of owners who moved to a different country is 0.3 million, and the total number of people who moved in 2004 is the sum of the four categories, which is 11.7 + 2.8 + 18.6 + 4.6 + 1.1 = 38.8 million.

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected citizen who moved in 2004 was an owner who moved to a different country is:

0.3 million / 38.8 million ≈ 0.0077

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the probability is approximately 0.01.

So, the probability that a randomly selected citizen who moved in 2004 was an owner who moved to a different country is approximately 0.01.
