Parking Spaces

How full is the lot? Count, estimate, fraction it.

Pick a parking lot. Count total spaces, then count occupied ones. Express as a fraction, decimal, percentage.

Try it

84 occupied / 120 total

Fraction 84/120 = 7/10. Decimal 0.7. Percentage 70%. Three ways to say the same thing.

Repeat at the same lot at three different times. Plot the results — that's your first time-series.
