Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to -8.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 11.3 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -8 beside that -8.0.
