A value like 5/303, or about 1.65%, could describe a small portion of a large group, such as 5 defective items in a shipment of 303 products. It might also represent a rare event, like a few people in a large survey choosing an uncommon answer.

To picture 1.65% quickly, think of roughly 2 out of every 100 items, though it is a little smaller than that. In a group of about 300, it would be easy to imagine only 5 items being marked or selected.

A common mistake is to treat 5/303 as if it were close to 5%, because the numerator is 5. The denominator matters just as much: 5 out of 303 is much smaller than 5 out of 100.
