Drawing Conclusions (aka Fun With Math)

This week we'll manipulate the data from the Great-Big Summary Chart to achieve some pointless results.

The Big Losers

None of the shows in this chart went one for one, winning an award for every nomination. So to level the field we can subtract the number of wins from the total nominations in order to reflect only the awards lost. This reveals the big losers. Here they are in order of losses.

Note that if we take this completely at face value, the smallest number of losses, wins! (Of course, try to see any of these "big winners.")

Of course, that makes little sense, does it? Much more sensical, although equally pointless, is to look at the win-to-loss percentage ratio. If we divide the number of awards won by the total nominations for each winner, we come up with something like baseball batting averages. So here, then, is the list of winners. (Shows with no hits have been dropped from the chart.)

Bear in mind that, despite their relatively respectable performance at the plate, many of these players have been sent to farm teams and/or dropped
