Answer 1

Answer:

Given that:

The table below shows the number of deaths in the U.S. in a year due to a variety of causes. For these questions, assume these values are not changing from year to year, and that the population of the United States is 312 million people.

Cause	Deaths
Passenger car occupant	13100
Motorcycle driver	4500
tornado	553
Skydiving	56
total	18209

Total number of deaths = 18209

US Population = 312000000

c) Estimate the probability that you will die as a passenger car occupant next year?

As number of deaths due to various causes assumed that same every year

So, probability that a random American will due as the result of tornado next year
