The probability that a randomly selected murder resulted from a rifle or shotgun is
P(rifle or shotgun) = 0.059. Interpret this probability.
Choose one of the correct answers from below.
A. If 1000 murders were randomly selected, we would expect about 59 of them to have resulted from a rifle or shotgun.
B. If any person is randomly selected, there is a 59 % chance the person will be murdered with a rifle or shotgun.
C. If any person is randomly selected, there is a 5.9% chance the person will be murdered with a rifle or shotgun.
