A recent article in Geophysical Research Letters simulated the consequences of an earth impact by an asteroid of 400 m in diameter. The writers estimate that for a land impact, 60% of deaths would be caused by wind and shockwave damage, 30% by heat, 1% by flying debris, 0.2% by cratering, and 0.17% by earthquake.
a) What percent of estimated deaths would the writers attribute to causes not listed here?
% (Type an integer or decimal. Do not round.)
b) Try to create a display for these data. Why is that difficult to do?
A. It is difficult to make a good display because the numbers are of such different magnitudes. A display of the two largest values would not show the two smallest ones.
B. It is difficult to make a good display because the numbers are all estimates. Typically, exact values are required to display data.
C. It is difficult to make a good display because all of the numbers are percentages.
D. It is difficult to make a good display because the five numbers are clearly incomplete since they do not add up to 100%
