6-457: The facility consists of an NHL-size ice arena, an indoor artificial turf court, a running/walking track, three community meeting rooms, and a commercial kitchen facility. In 2002, Wasilla residents voted to add half a percentage point to their sales tax to fund construction of the $ 14.7 million facility. This project was significantly delayed by an eminent domain lawsuit brought by the prior landowner, Gary Lundgren. This article about
12-419: A risk or probability . Consider a drug that cures a given disease in 70 percent of all cases, while without the drug, the disease heals spontaneously in only 50 percent of cases. The drug reduces absolute risk by 20 percentage points. Alternatives may be more meaningful to consumers of statistics, such as the reciprocal , also known as the number needed to treat (NNT). In this case, the reciprocal transform of

For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent
24-448: Is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same). In written text, the unit (the percentage point) is usually either written out, or abbreviated as pp , p.p. , or %pt. to avoid confusion with percentage increase or decrease in the actual quantity. After the first occurrence, some writers abbreviate by using just "point" or "points". Consider
30-435: The following hypothetical example: In 1980, 50 percent of the population smoked, and in 1990 only 40 percent of the population smoked. One can thus say that from 1980 to 1990, the prevalence of smoking decreased by 10 percentage points (or by 10 percent of the population) or by 20 percent when talking about smokers only – percentages indicate proportionate part of a total. Percentage-point differences are one way to express
36-442: The percentage-point difference would be 1/(20pp) = 1/0.20 = 5. Thus if 5 patients are treated with the drug, one could expect to cure one more patient than would have gotten well without receiving the treatment. For measurements involving percentages as a unit, such as, growth, yield , or ejection fraction , statistical deviations and related descriptive statistics , including the standard deviation and root-mean-square error ,
