What are odds of being murdered in lifetime?

1 in 33.8 The current world homicide rate is 7.6 murders per 100,000 people which translates to a .0076% chance per year. Assuming a 100 year lifespan that would theoretically mean a .76% chance of getting murdered in your lifetime, but that is totally off from the true value because likelihood changes based on many factors, the most basic of which include location and age. I don't know where the person who wrote 1 in 33.8 (2.96%) got that statistic but by my math that is an extreme overestimate unless you live in southern Africa or central America.
