Why are you multiplying %red and %quasi by 100? 66 occurrences in a corpus of 6347 is 0.0139%, not 1.04%.



66 out of 6347 is definitely 1.04%.

You can get a close approximation by moving the decimal 2 steps to the left (63.47). So without even doing the math, it's possible to see that 63 is almost the same as 66 (almost 1 to 1), which means it's going to calculate out to about 1% after you move the decimal back to its original position. It's a simple way to do a quick check in your head.
