A value like 2/262, or about 0.76%, can show up when only a very small number of items in a large group meet a certain condition. For example, it could describe two defective products among 262, two people selected from a large event, or a rare outcome in a survey.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of about 100 people: fewer than one person would represent this rate. In a group of 262, you would see just two marked items, so the fraction is much closer to 1% than to 5% or 10%.

A common mistake is to read 0.76% as 0.76, which would mean 76% rather than less than 1%. The percent sign matters because it shows that the value is a small part of one hundred.
