What are my mathematical chances of being shot?

As the title says.. these are the factors that matter:

1) I drive a Range Rover
2) I live two blocks away from a IGA & shop there (burnaby)
3) I sometimes have class at SFU Surrey campus that I drive to

Never been related to a gang, never was part of a gang, barely even met somebody who belongs to a gang.

PS: For those with lower than normal IQs, this is sarcasm.. mostly

Hmm doing the mathematical calculations and given the variables, every time you step outside your house you have a 50% chances of being shot. You have a 33% chances of being shot if you remain in your house and you have a 95.6777%(repeating of course) chance of being shot when you are in your SUV.

My best suggestion would be to kill yourself before another person gets the chance.

I wouldn't wish being shot on nobody.

However because of the economic crisis, there is a chance you might be "fired" from your job.

*drum roll*

Hi MegaMx!!

That's a good question, thank you for bringing that up. Now, with every single particle and wave of energy in this universe, it's location relative to other particles or frequency has a precise location or quantity - to an extent! Each particles location has a small but general probability room. This means that it is possible for a particle to go through a solid wall, for example, as illustrated in this picture:



This would be an example of quantum tunneling and probability relative to everything that exists in the universe. Let's move on towards a more specific topic, being shot in your Range Rover infront of the IGA Marketplace in Burnaby. If you factor in several key variables, you can easily find out your odds of being shot versus how many visits you make to that location in your Range Rover.




1) First, we analyze the data provided for high fuel high cost SUV's relative to their related crime rates



2) Population growth for Vancouver. Burnaby shouldn't be far off. We'll use this data and pinpoint-average the location for the IGA in Burnaby to give us an accurate crime rate figure for that block


Logistic crinoid distribution count. Convert every 1mm = 1km. Factor this in to the pinpoint-average above and you have an accurate estimate of how bad the crime will be.


Success versus frame factor (bit error rate of course). This is important for later



Let's use our findings in the following formula's!






Rule of Addition If events A and B come from the same sample space, the probability that event A and/or event B occur is equal to the probability that event A occurs plus the probability that event B occurs minus the probability that both events A and B occur.
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

Note: Invoking the fact that P( A ∩ B ) = P( A )P( B | A ), the Addition Rule can also be expressed as
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P( B | A )

All our data suggests that the probability that event A (being shot in your range rover in IGA burnaby) occurs is equal to 1 in 4.8816507805309E06

Hehe, that was fun, wasn't it? I get really excited when we get to do formula's on revscene. Well, I hope you guys had as much fun as I do, till then, keep your calculators recharged, guys!

Dont drive. Bus.

2) I live two blocks away from a IGA & shop there (burnaby)
If you are living near Burnaby Mountain Golf Course. Then you are in gangster free land.

3) I sometimes have class at SFU Surrey campus that I drive to
Criminals are too dumb to go to SFU.

I think BNR32_Coupe's assumption #1 is wrong.. since all the shootings are targeted and well known.. I think you have to look up the ICBC database to see whether the RR colour / model is actually owned by the gangsters first. I mean if the OP's RR is a barbie pink and yet non of the gangster own one, obviously you can use the general population stats... we should also bin the numbers by shades.. eg Grey, Metallic Grey etc could be mistaken as black at night.

eg If you have a Black Cayenne.. or Black SL63 then your chances will be dependent how many of them are on the road.

Stats is not very useful if you are not using the correct assumptions.
