An ad for a new headache remedy says that it "reduces headache pain by 300%." What does this mean? (a) It means that there is 3 times as much pain before using the treatment as there is after using it. (b) It means there is only seven-tenths as much pain after using the treatment, because 300/1000 = 0.3, or three-tenths. (c) It's nonsense, because removing 100 percent of the pain already removes all of it. (d) It's nonsense, because pain is not a numerical variable, so percents don't make sense. 8.)
