The math skills behind that deduction has me stunned.
Besides that though, we can't expect good loot constantly. And we're still above average when it comes to useful drops compared to the vast majority of mobs in this game.

it also shows you never did these missions as you ALWAYS get a slicing tool and then if you are lucky, you will get a slicing tool AND some other item(s). I have had marks drop 3 items before. So there is no MATH per se. You get slicing tools all the time and about 2% of the time, I seem to be able to loot something else IN ADDITION TO the slicing tool.
Someone also said to only hunt marks with 1 name and not 2 as the Gold NPCs are more prone to be marks with one name. So I do that alot. I will try out the lower level marks when I get home.
If you use a shuttle whenever you can, it speeds things up alot. If they're on the edge of the map and depending on your patience and luck, you might be better off waiting out your seeker so your mark comes closer to you.

Wow, can you give me any tips on how to speed up? One mission takes me anywhere from 20 - 30 minutes depending on if it is on a no-built planet. I ran 4 missions last night, Dath, Yavin4, Endor, Dath, all at the edges of the map. It took me 2 hours, and killing the mark was not the time consuming part.

Seriously, tired of looting those things 100% of the time. OR even better, spending 20 minutes to kill a double chevron and looting a jar of bugs 3 times in a row
Then please, if you still have your /respec token, respec out of BH as apparently, your not able to handle an elite proff. Please respec over to MEnt, MDancer, MId, and MMusician.
Come on people, UBER LOOT isn't supposed to be 100% chance drop. Get it through your thick heads!

Not the way my numbers work out. Of course, I'm not wasting my time trying to crunch the numbers. Anyhoo, the slicing components stack now, as you know. I sell bundles of five slicing components for 250k to 500k creds. Not necessarily a bad side job while I wait for the good stuff to drop. Also, believe it or not, many smugglers don't have many of the elite slicing tools. I'm never at a loss for slicing components when I want something. I also makes sure to have a different slicer do each job, then I ask if they need any components. I was frustrated like you, at first. But then I took advantage of the market.
