According to Grime and the Star Trek: Star Fleet Technical Manual, there are 239 redshirts on the series. Of those, only 25 die. That means redshirts on the series have about a 10 percent chance of dying.

However, there are 55 crewmembers wearing gold. If 10 of them die, that means their mortality rate is just over 18 percent. Captain Kirk should consider himself lucky to be alive!

Only six percent of crewmembers wearing blue, often scientists, die on the show.[link:https://www.space.com/36450-star-trek-math-of-khan.html|

That's a happy thought, but perhaps we should not enumerate our juvenile poultry until the incubation period has elapsed.

Just sayin'.
