Aufgabenstellung

The column "Rank" is used too often. Multiple "Rank" columns would be necessary if the table spreads over more pages, but this is not the case.
Rankings should always be sorted, so that the reader needs less time to read the table.
The allignment of the columns could be better arranged.
Missing headers are very bad, so hardly noone can imagine what the content means.
Abbreviations should not be used. They cant be understood by someone who is not familiar with the table's content.
The grid is not necessary. A wisely chosen white-space would be enough.
Numbers should have the same format, so its easier for the reader.
Headers should usualy not be much longer than the longest entry in their column.
Calculations within the table should always be displayed next to the column which is used for calculation.

Our opinion is, that the table displays the Top 9 of something. So we sorted the table accordingly to their ranking.
We put the Ranking in the first column, because its better for the reader, so he can quickly see how the ranking is and its not that irritating when reading the table.
We alligned the columns correctly.
- Numbers should be alligned to the right, because thats easier to read
- Ranking should also be alligned to the right, because the only thing that should be center alligned are values which always have the same size (e.g. "Y", "N").
All numbers have now the same format. (-xx,yy)
The column "t=" is the only number column which is alligned to the left, because the "*" at the end vary and so its easier for the reader.
The calculation of M1-M2 is now next to the columns M1 and M2 so its easier for the reader.
We removed the grid, because its not needed. Instead of it we made a light grey line underneath the headers.
For the readability we sepparated the columns and rows through white-spaces.
