How to Interpret the Index Number

• For every report that uses an index, 100 is the base and demonstrates an even likelihood.
• If the index is above 100, this indicates more of a likelihood.
• If the index is below 100, this indicates less of a likelihood.

There are two ways to interpret a positive index number, either as a decimal or as a percentage:

• An index of 125 would either be 1.25x more likely or 25% more likely.
• An index of 245 would either be 2.45x more likely or 145% more likely.

Below are some more detailed examples of how to read the reports that use an index.
