A value like 1/65, or about 1.54%, might describe a small share of people who choose a certain option in a survey or a few items with a defect in a large batch. It’s a way to describe something that happens occasionally, but not so rarely that it never comes up.

To picture it quickly, imagine about one or two marked spots in a group of 100. Or think of one person in a group of 65—that’s a small slice of the whole group.

A common confusion is treating 1.54% as if it means 1.54 people. Percentages describe a share, so the actual number of people depends on how large the group is.
