Marathon Completion Statistics

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the percentage of marathon runners who did not complete the race successfully. It details the process of adding the number of runners who gave up and those disqualified, converting this number into a fraction, and then into a percentage. The tutorial also covers rounding the result to the nearest tenth of a percent. Additionally, it explains how to find the percentage of runners who completed the marathon by subtracting the non-completion percentage from 100%.
