Answer:

C. 1500 people per event

Explanation:

The probability of the asteroid hitting earth is one in 21,000.

Mathematically, that can be represented as \frac{1}{21,000}.

assuming the impact could cause a death of 30,000,000.

The average death rate for this kind of event if it occurs can be got by multiplying the probability of the event occurring by the death rate.

= \frac{1}{21,000} × 30,000 = 1,428.57

≈ 1500 people per event.<em> (an approximate answer was required by the question)</em>

This means that, approximately 1500 people will be killed if the event were to occur once.
