Answer :
The probability that a death in 2014 was not caused by heart disease or unintentional injuries is approximately 0.714. This is found by subtracting the number of these deaths from the total and dividing by the total number of deaths.
To determine the probability that a death in 2014 was not caused by heart disease or unintentional injuries, we first sum the number of deaths caused by these two factors:
- Heart disease: 614,348
- Unintentional injuries: 136,053
Adding these together:
614,348 + 136,053 = 750,401
The total number of deaths in 2014 was 2,626,418. Therefore, the number of deaths not caused by heart disease or unintentional injuries is:
2,626,418 - 750,401 = 1,876,017
The probability that a death in 2014 was not caused by heart disease or unintentional injuries is calculated by dividing the number of deaths not caused by these factors by the total number of deaths:
Probability = 1,876,017 / 2,626,418 ≈ 0.714
So, the probability is approximately 0.714
