Talk:Micromort

Is the disambig really necessary? There isn't yet an article for the software —3mta3 (talk) 10:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Until there is a stub article for the software, there is not point having a dismbig page, and much less point in incorrectly calling this article a disambiguation page. The removed text is below, to be put on a disambig page when it's needed:

Micromort may refer to:

Micromort, a unit of risk measuring a one-in-a-million probability of death.
"MICROMORT", a computer program (by Heisey and Fuller, 1985) used to estimate mortality rates, commonly used in ecological studies.

30 micromorts per day calculation

If the average person experiences one death per 30,000 days shouldn't that be 0.03 micromorts per day, or 30 millimorts, rather than 30 micromorts, per day? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.236.250.103 (talk) 22:41, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

okay; one million micromorts per 30000 days, div both sides by 1000 to get 1000 micromorts per 30 days, 100 micromorts per 3 days. 65.46.169.246 (talk) 22:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Examples should include per day

Currently the examples of how many micromort certain things are do not include the time during which is should happen. 0.5 liter of wine nicely split over 7 days is not associated with mortality. 0.5 liter in 0.5 hour is something else EgonWillighagen (talk) 19:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
