Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 4 figures above sum to +2.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 2.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +2 beside that +2.0.
