My result with Bibleworks 3.5 is:
1 = number of verses with particle
2 = total number of verses
3 = % of verses with particle

                1 2 3
Acts 1-15 377 560 67.3%
Acts 16-28 362 446 81.2%

Yes: "With computers we can now mistinterpret Scripture at speeds never
before
possible."

Best wishes
