By allowing you to see the progress per folder (B2), you're able to analyze analyse the status of a subset of Tests that are part of the Test Plan.
The analysis per folder takes into account the selected Test Environment; by default, it shows the calculated status for "All Environments".
The values shown for each folder only take into account the immediate child Tests (i.e., the Tests that are within that folder). Thus, this bar shows the totals for the Tests that are seen "underneath" it.
