Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -13.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 16.8 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -13 beside that -13.9.
