Title: Calling all Math Wizards Post by: TimtheYoutuber on June 08, 2019, 05:59:49 PM How do I compare data that has different totals and create a benchmark? For example, look at the below problem.
2019 data Problem X: Preventable times it occurs: | Non Preventable times it occurs | % of Preventable times 10 5 66.67% Problem Y: Preventable times it occurs: | Non Preventable times it occurs | % of Preventable times 15 7 68.18% Problem z: Preventable times it occurs: | Non Preventable times it occurs | % of Preventable times 2 9 18.18% 2018 data: Problem X: Preventable times it occurs: | Non Preventable times it occurs | % of Preventable times 20 7 74.07% Problem Y: Preventable times it occurs: | Non Preventable times it occurs | % of Preventable times 49 150 24.62% Problem z: Preventable times it occurs: | Non Preventable times it occurs | % of Preventable times 18 49 26.87% With this example, how could you create a benchmark with the different problem sets? Like for example, Problem X in 2019 was less preventable than in 2018. However, in 2019 there were more instances of problems so the data isn't 1:1 comparable. So what algorithm would I need to use in order to compare the data and create an appropriate benchmark that would accurately depict the different categories? Any help would be appreciated.

If something is not clear just let me know and I can try my best to clear things up.
