Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Total population: 308745538
  • People in Florida: 18801310
  • People in Michigan: 9883640

Probabilities:

  • P(F) = People in Florida / Total = 18801310/308745538*100% = 6.09%
  • P(M) = People in Michigan /Total = 9883640/308745538*100% = 3.20%

As we see from the probabilities, there is almost twice difference between Florida and Michigan residents.
