Using Functional Constraints
We know, given the nature of the problem that This can be reframed as a more concrete counterfactual : Where is the event and is the event . is the probability that a death is caused by Russian Roulette alone. Now let, By definition, since contains , The law of total probability gives us : We can then solve for to get : Now we use the equation derived from the law of total probability and plug in values for NYC, to get the estimated mortality rate as $20.8%$
Thus using the structural diagram(s) and functional constraints, we've managed to solve this problem using only the two assumptions we began with.
