No Nicholas, you have your decimal point off. 16 692 / 296 410 404 = 5.63138128 × 10-5 = 0.0000563138128
Multiply by 100 and you get 0.00563138128% or about 0.0056% No Algebra needed. :>) Joe Kubasek On 7/20/07, Hromyak, Nicholas (DHCS-ITSD) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
** Apparently, I was not clear. Please look at the numbers below When I divide the FBI's numbers of 16,692 murders / 296,410,404 the population in 2005 I get 5.613. Please TRY IT! 16692 / 296410404 = 5.613 It's been a while since I did my Algebra, but I think that is correct. Now when I look at how to get a percentage according to this site http://www.blurtit.com/q845591.html The equation can be put up as follows: (Given amount/ Total amount) x100 For example if John scores 60 out of 75 in mathematics we can find the percentage of his marks by dividing 60 by 75 which comes to be 0.8 and then multiplying it by 100 which gives us the percentage of his marks in math which is 80%. (60/75) x 100 = 80% Hence 5.6% According to the FBI http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_01.html In 2005 there were 16,692 murders in a population of 296,410,404 people in the united states. That's 5.6% murdered in the U.S. ------------------------------ *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Joseph Kubasek *Sent:* Friday, July 20, 2007 10:14 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: OT: JOB posting and Nabble ** Nicholas, Your math is off. It's 0.0056% for the US, not 5.6%, which would be about 1/410 the rate in Iraq. (Of course the numbers get a bit more complicated that that when you consider that the Iraq numbers are over a period of years with varying populations of soldiers.)

That's 5.6% murdered in the U.S. Iraq I didn't look up the numbers, I am not even sure where to look, but I think There were over 3,000 soldiers killed with a population (of soldiers) at 130,000 That's 2.3% murdered in Iraq. I would have thought the number in Iraq would be higher. Be safe everyone. ------------------------------ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___
