If in 2009 approximately 30% of the adult population was offline in terms of being able or willing to access the internet.
New data released in May 2016 indicated that this group numbered 5.3 million in the first quarter of 2016.
Using these figures and taking the UK adult population in 2016 to be 52.2 million, calculate the percentage points reduction in offline UK adults indicated by the 2016 data.
Answer.
Percent of offline population in the first quarter 2016: (5.3)/(52.2)=0.1015=10.15%.
Percentage points reduction: 30-10.15=19.85≈20%
