Just take the population of N Carolina and divide by the number of deaths per year.
Therefore, one has approximately a 1 in 1 749 851 chance of getting killed by lightning in North Carolina every year. As a percent, that's 0.00005715% chance (1 / 1 749 851 * 100)
For the second bit, just take the number of days of sunshine and divide by the number of days per year.
Therefore, you get:
256 / 365 = 0.7013, or a 70.13% chance that any given day in Miami will be sunny.
