Wouldn't the set being chosen just resulting in different probability profile, and you get to pick one depending on your personal characteristics?
Ie. 2.5 micromorts is your risk if you're a French citizen, (153 + other death from terrorism) / (7.3 billions) if you're a human, 153/2M if you're living in Paris?
Edit: change the napkin calculation for correctnesss.
- viraptor 11y agoI don't think the human one would be true, because there were many more people dying in terrorist attacks over the last year. But otherwise yes, you could depending on the area provide different risks - which was my point: you can use it to compare continuous activities within some area / population group. But absolute values for single data points just don't give you much information.
