Nines (notation)
text:
Nines are an informal logarithmic notation for proportions very near to one or, equivalently, percentages very near 100%. Put simply, "nines" are the number of consecutive nines in a percentage such as 99% or a decimal fraction such as 0.999. Their common uses include grading the purity of materials – especially precious metals and industrial gases – or measuring the availability of a service.
