Update 'prevalence' to 'proportion of' in stat var description #4434

Closed shifucun closed 3 months ago

"prevalence" is a very strong word match and results in non-optimal matching and ranking.

"proportion of" seems to be more general wording and works good for a range of query key words (see diff below).

I have also tried "percentage" which don't really match prevalence query very well (maybe prevalence could refer to millionth and not really used in common with percentage?)

The two examples below show increased score of matching when asking in different ways.
