There were 2,626,418 deaths in 2014 according to the CDC. 614,348 of these deaths were caused by diseases of the heart and 136,053 were caused by unintentional injuries. What is the probability that a death in 2014 was not caused by diseases of the heart or unintentional injuries

= 0.714 (in decimal fraction)

The probability that the death in 2014 was not caused by heart diseases or Unintentional Injuries = 0.714

= 0.714

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's interpret the question our way ti solve it .

Total deaths in 2014:

2626418

Death caused by Heart Diseases:

614348

Death caused by Unintentional Injuries:

750401

Therefore, we can deduced that, the number of death not caused by Heart Diseases or Unintentional Injuries = Total deaths in 2014 minus sum of the recorded death.

= 2626418 - ( 614348 + 136053)

= 2626418 - 750401

= 1876017.

Now, the probability that there were death in 2014 is 1 (one)

To find the probability that death we're not caused by heart diseases or Unintentional Injuries:

= 1 - Pr (Death Caused by heart diseases) + Pr (Death causes by Unintentional Injuries)

= 1 - (0.234 + 0.052)

= 1 - 0.286

= 0.714

To Check:

= 1876017 / 2626418

Divide to the lowest term

=0.714
