1.2 million died in China from air pollution in 2010

          A new study shows that about 1.2 million people died in China as a result of exposure to air pollution in 2010, but first let's see the answer to yesterday's math question. If we do a simple 0.11 * 76,700,000, we get 8,437,000 children currently in the US with ADHD. But we can be a little more accurate by estimating the number of kids from 4-17 years old, because the 76.7 million was the number of children from 0-17. Since 0 counts as an age, we want to take out 4/18 of 76.7 million to get about 59,655,556 children from age 4-17. Now, if we do 11% of 59,655,556, we get about 6,562,111 total children in the US diagnosed with ADHD. I also found a web page from last year that said that 5.2 million children of age 3-17 are diagnosed with ADHD, which, according to the article, is 8.4%, so our answer should be pretty close.

          Now, about that air pollution thing. As I said, there was a new study showing that 1.2 million people died in China, and 3.2 million total around the world as a result of air pollution in 2010. Knowing that there are about 7.076 billion (7,076,000,000) people in the world, and 1.354 billion people in China, what were your chances of dying from air pollution in China compared to your average chance of dying from it in the rest of the world?
