A fraction like 1908/1965, or about 97.1%, can describe a very high success rate in everyday life. For example, it might represent 1,908 orders delivered on time out of 1,965 orders, or the percentage of students who completed an assignment.

You can picture it as almost the entire amount, with only a small portion missing. Since 97.1% is just under 100%, imagine a group of 100 items with about 97 included and only 3 left out.

A common mistake is to treat 97.1% as exactly 97%, even though the extra tenth of a percentage point can matter in large groups. It is also easy to confuse the small number of failures, about 2.9%, with the much larger success rate.
