Say I go from 10 to 8. Is the relative improvement given by
(1-10/8) = 0.25,
i.e. 25%?

Measuring improvements and percentage allows us to track progress and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions or changes. It also helps us identify areas for further improvement and make data-driven decisions.
To calculate percentage improvement, you first need to determine the starting value and the ending value. Then, subtract the starting value from the ending value and divide the result by the starting value. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage improvement.
Absolute improvement is the difference between the starting and ending values, while percentage improvement is the relative change expressed as a percentage of the starting value. Absolute improvement shows the actual change in numerical terms, while percentage improvement allows for comparison between different starting values.
Interpreting percentage improvement depends on the context and the starting value. Generally, a higher percentage improvement indicates a greater degree of change and improvement, while a lower percentage may suggest a smaller impact. It is important to consider the starting value and the goal when interpreting percentage improvements.
Percentage improvement only takes into account the starting and ending values and does not consider other factors that may have influenced the change. It also does not show the rate at which the improvement occurred. Additionally, percentage improvement can be misleading if the starting value is very small or close to zero.
