What does a <1 lemon means? Zero?

mkaresh

Yes, it means we have none in the sample. But when I started posting these stats I figured their have to be some bad ones out there, for any car, so I went with "< 1" to suggest a very small percentage. I suppose I should do the same for the average, but zeros are much less common with those.
