Learn the skill

A rate must match the question. If an activity is open only to an eligible group, participation among eligible people uses that group as denominator, not every resident. These examples are fictional and contain no individual records.

Worked example

30 participants among 150 eligible residents is 20%, even when the whole town has 1,000 residents.
