Pre-fit event yields in the single-lepton resolved and boosted signal regions and control regions. All uncertainties are included except the $k({t\bar {t}+{\geq }1b})$ uncertainty that is not defined pre-fit. For the ${t\bar {t}H}$ signal, the pre-fit yield values correspond to the theoretical prediction and corresponding uncertainties. `Other top sources' refers to s-channel, t-channel, $tWZ$ and $tZq$ events.

Post-fit event yields in the single-lepton resolved and boosted signal regions and control regions, after the inclusive fit in all channels. All uncertainties are included, taking into account correlations. For the ${t\bar {t}H}$ signal, the post-fit yield and uncertainties correspond to those in the inclusive signal-strength measurement. `Other top sources' refers to s-channel, t-channel, $tWZ$ and $tZq$ events.

Breakdown of the contributions to the uncertainties in $\mu$. The contributions from the different sources of uncertainty are evaluated after the fit. The $\Delta \mu $ values are obtained by repeating the fit after having fixed a certain set of nuisance parameters corresponding to a group of systematic uncertainties, and then evaluating $(\Delta \mu)^2$ by subtracting the resulting squared uncertainty of $\mu $ from its squared uncertainty found in the full fit. The same procedure is followed when quoting the effect of the ${t\bar {t}+{\geq }1b}$ normalisation. The total uncertainty is different from the sum in quadrature of the different components due to correlations between nuisance parameters existing in the fit.
