    Sure, but that’s also the ideal way to go out. Definitely beats being one of those people that shakes a vending machine in a fit of a rage and ends up being crushed over a bag of Cheetos.

    Well sure, but if you think about the fact that there are 8.1 billion people in the world and then consider that if you’re really lucky you might live to 100… That’s (365 × 100) × (60k ÷ 8.1b) × (100%)… You only have a 27% chance of dying this way… Honestly didn’t expect it to be that high.

      Hello Arithmetic Wizard, I have the ADHD and math anxiety if not full on Dyscalculia so I was wondering if I could employ your help to figure out a formula for the likelihood of dying from something that kills 500 out of 333,287,557 people yearly?

      My best translation from your equation is: (365 x 100) x (500 ÷ 333,287,557) x (100%), but I feel like that would be slightly off because I suck at this.

        I doubt my math is correct, I always sucked at statistics, but if you were to convert my previous nonsense you wouldn’t multiply by 365 since you already have the yearly rate rather than the daily rate so it would be: (100) × (500 ÷ 333,287,557) × (100%) = 0.015%

    From what I understand- no one dies peacefully in their sleep. They always wake up… then die.
