Estimate the probability of being injured by a lightning strike in New York

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-03] [Hit: ]
283 ~ 0.So the probability of being injured by lightning in a year is approximately 0.Im assuming that a death is NOT counted as an injury, otherwise you have to deal with the fact that those are NOT mutually exclusive.......
Average death per year 3.6
Average ingeries per year 12.5
populations is 5,689,283

-
12.5 / 5,689,283 ~ 0.000002197

So the probability of being injured by lightning in a year is approximately 0.000002197

I'm assuming that a death is NOT counted as an injury, otherwise you have to deal with the fact that those are NOT mutually exclusive.
