- Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10, though numbers ending in a “5” have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent the systematic bias caused by always rounding numbers upwards (e.g. a value of ’25’ would be rounded down to ‘20’ and a value of ‘15’ would be rounded up to ‘20’.
- Additionally, totals and sub-totals are rounded separately and so may not equal the sums of their rounded parts.
