      select count(*) from t where a <= 0;
      count(*)
      33
      

      JSON histogram

      {
        "query_block": {
          "select_id": 1,
          "table": {
            "table_name": "t",
            "access_type": "ALL",
            "rows": 100,
            "filtered": 1.470600009,
            "attached_condition": "t.a <= 0"
          }
        }
      }
      

      DOUBLE_PREC histogram

      {
        "query_block": {
          "select_id": 1,
          "table": {
            "table_name": "t",
            "access_type": "ALL",
            "rows": 100,
            "filtered": 32.8125,
            "attached_condition": "t.a <= 0"
          }
        }
      }
      

      So, the actual result set contains 33 rows out of 100, DOUBLE_PREC gives filtered=32.8 which is very close, JSON histogram gives filtered=1.47 which is far off.

      Reproducible with InnoDB and MyISAM alike.
