A coach tells his Little League players that hitting a 0.275 batting average, within 7% error, means that they had a really great season. Seven-year-old Tommy ended the season with a 0.258 batting average. According to his coach, did Tommy have a great season?
Yes. According to the coach's mathematical criteria, Tommy had a great season.
Sadly, Tommy doesn't even know it. His tone-deaf coach decided to describe success in terms that are absurd for 7-yr-olds, as well as for most of their parents.
