07%
This is why punctuation is important.
Never mind that, what does "07% per 100K" even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million
The "%" is unnecessary, yeah. I‘m guessing she meant "0.7 homicides per 100K citizens per Annum"
0.07 x 100 000
Assuming it's .07% and not 7% since the latter wouldn't make sense with their post, that would make it 70 out of 100,000.
a simple math says: 0.7/100*100 000 = 0.7 * 1 000 = 700 so, 700 on 100k people
Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.
Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.
Relevant Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.
Edit: That Wikipedia article may have been written by ChatGPT cause the actual total number of homicides in all of Japan in 2022 was 853.
NonWikipedia source:
As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn't make sense. That's like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.
The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a "percentage" implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.
The original statistic under discussion says that there are "X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country", rather than "Y% of the country's population is murder victims", which wouldn't make sense anyway since the dead aren't part of the population; i.e. you wouldn't see a statistic like "20% of the population is dead" but rather "20% of the population died", and "90% of the deaths were by murder" rather than "18% of the population is murder victims".
Thank you for attending my TED talk.
Edit: formatting
Edit: 0.233 murders per 100,000 residents (in 2022) = 126,146,099 (pop of Japan as per the 2020 census) x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total. The wiki page says the actual count is 289, so the error is probably due the drop in population since the 2020 census.
Your math is still bad though.
