A value like 2/148 can show up when only two items in a group of 148 meet a certain condition. For example, it could represent two defective products in a shipment, two late arrivals in a large event, or two people selected from a much bigger group.

It is about 1.35%, so you can picture it as a little more than 1 person or item out of every 100. Another quick estimate is to imagine two marked objects spread across a group of roughly 150, making them very uncommon.

A common mistake is to treat 2/148 as 2%, since the numerator is 2. However, the denominator is much larger than 100, so the actual percentage is lower than 2%.
