Advantage, Threat, Triumph & Despair Probabilities

For each pool it shows the average number of results you may get. The first number is when the overall result is a success and the second number is when the overall result is a failure.

For example, when rolling a single boost die you have an average chance of getting 0.5 advantage results when the overall result is a success and 0.7 advantage results when the overall result is a failure. This shows that a boost die gives more advantage when failing and less advantage when succeeding.
