What this result means
Average percentages only when they describe comparable measures. A simple mean gives every percentage equal influence; a weighted mean gives more influence to entries with larger weights.

Average percentages only when they describe comparable measures. A simple mean gives every percentage equal influence; a weighted mean gives more influence to entries with larger weights.
Simple average = sum of percentages / count. Weighted average = sum(percentage x weight) / sum(weights).
Do not average rates with different definitions or periods. Use weights based on counts when combining group success rates.

Simple average = sum of percentages / count. Weighted average = sum(percentage x weight) / sum(weights).
The calculator evaluates the relationship at full working precision, validates unsupported denominators or domains, and rounds only the visible output. This keeps the arithmetic reproducible while making the final result readable.
A simple mean of 80%, 90%, 70% and 100% is 85%.
Weights 1, 2, 1 and 1 produce a weighted average of 86% for the same values.
