The fraction 3/95 describes a small share of a group, about 3.16%. You might see a value like this when roughly 3 out of every 95 students choose a certain club, customers use a particular coupon, or households have a specific feature.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of about 100 people and think of 3 of them being selected. Since 3/95 is just a little more than 3 out of 100, you can estimate it as about three percent.
