I listened to ‘The Life Scientific’ on Radio 4 recently which was a fascinating interview with David Spiegelhalter, a Statistician.
He was talking about chance and probability. He uses a measure (developed by Ronald A Howard) of the chance of an accidental death which is called a ‘micro mort’ this lists the number of times you have to carry out a particular activity to have a one in a million chance of dying while doing it.
