Question 826975
 If 100,000 people are shot every year, out of roughly 300 million Americans - what are the odds of being shot in a lifetime? 
----
P(being shot) = 100,000/300,000,000 = 100/300,000  
P(not being shot) = 2,900,000/300,000,000 = 2900/300,000
======
Odds for being shot = 100:2900 = 1:29
