What part don't you understand? Do you realize we only have fifty states? If Mississippi is the 36th most dangerous state, it cannot be in the lower half of safest states. It cannot be the 36th most dangerous state, and at the same time be among the lower half of the safest states. We don't have enough states for that to be true.

36th most dangerous. That means there are 14 states that are less dangerous.

Therefore, if safest is the opposite of dangerous, MS would be the 15th safest. Putting it it the top half of states.
