Microsoft announces record Q4, $18.06 billion in revenue. Microsoft has just dropped its Q4 2012 earnings report and things are looking pretty darn good... depending on your angle. The company reported a record fourth quarter revenue of $18.06 billion, but did suffer a net loss over the last three months of $492 million.
OK, .300 traditionally has been the mark of a good batting average, and .200 and below has been a poor one. The average batting average (a mouthful) has gone up from .260 to .275 or so in the last several years, so that affects perceptions.
We will start with the simple and then move to the complicated. Batting averages look weird â they usually range from around .200 to .375 but donât be fooled, itâs just a percentage expressed with one decimal point. So, the odd looking .200 is 20.0% and .375 is 37.5%. But! Things get more complicated when we start reasoning about what exactly the batting average percentage is made up of. Batting average = the number of hits / the number of at bats.
