I do not understand the following paragraph from the 5e rulebook.
"Here’s how to determine a character’s total for a passive check: 10 + all modifiers that normally apply to the check If the character has advantage on the check, add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5. The game refers to a passive check total as a score. For example, if a 1st-level character has a Wisdom of 15 and proficiency in Perception, he or she has a passive Wisdom (Perception) score of 14. The rules on hiding in the “Dexterity” section below rely on passive checks, as do the exploration rules in chapter 8."
I do not understand how the "score of 14" was determined.
It doesn't explain it very well. Be great if someone could explain. Thanks.
Well, a Wisdom of 15 means a modifier of +2, and proficiency adds an extra +2 on top of that, so the example character's total Wisdom (Perception) bonus would be +4. Since the passive score is calculated as 10 + bonuses, and the bonus to the skill is +4, the total for the score is 14.

Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.

In the example the 1st level character has proficiency in Perception so they add their proficiency bonus, which for a 1st level character is 2. If they did not have proficiency in Perception then the proficiency bonus would not be included. But your ability modifier pretty much always is added. So 10+2+2=14

10 + all modifiers that normally apply to the check
So if you don't have the proficiency bonus (aka did not pick up proficiency in that skill) it would just be 10 + 2 = 12 And like your example if you had the bonus then it would be the 10 + 2 + 2 = 14

A Passive Check score is 10 + ability modifier + proficiency bonus if applicable
Other bonuses may be added, such as when you have adventage or the Observant feat.
