Did you include all files of any kind, not just yours?

All files? Average = 75.4519 Std_Dev = 23.5872 Still way, way wrong. Why would you ever think it's 80 and 40?

Of course the numbers will be different for others but many systems have a lot common files. I have linux & windows on my laptop so maybe that's why I have a high StdDev. Your mean is similar, but StdDev low compared to mine. What do you have on your laptop?

So are you saying you never really thought it would be 80 and 40? If so, why did you ever say it would be?

No, I did, it is on my laptop. I was not expecting your level of StdDev.
