Ratio of rounded compliance rates

Read the equation

Dividing 14.2 by 2.8 gives approximately 5.0714. This is a ratio of two rounded marginal percentages. It is distinct from a percentage-point difference, an odds ratio, or a paired-outcome effect, each of which uses a different calculation.

Terms & definitions

The recovered passage does not supply a separate symbol table. Read the source context for the notation used in this version; familiar letters may carry different meanings in other builds.

How it works

Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.

Assumptions & limits

Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

Original context

100−85.8=14.2%,  100−97.2=2.8%.

Thus the ratio computed from rounded marginals is

14.22.8≈5.0714.

This is approximately a five-fold contextual difference in the observed behavior, not a five-fold difference in consciousness. The denominator is behavioral compliance, and neither group is labeled conscious or unconscious by the measurement.

Subtracting the rounded marginals gives 11.4 points, while the separately published gap is 11.3. Independent rounding can account for this 0.1-point difference; it is not evidence of a calculation error in the source. We preserve the published contrast for interval arithmetic rather than silently replacing it.

Using a normal approximation with the reported standard error:

\frac{14.2}{2.8}\approx 5.0714.
