Are the Evasion Leader Abilities Working Properly?

The title of the discussion speaks for itself.
A bit of context:
Was doing a PvE mission (the last LS 5 hard node to be more precise) and picked Lumi as a leader (leadership skill rank 5 = 13% evasion on jedi) and Old Ben as an assist partner, giving me 10.5% evasion.
This would thus bring me at 23.5% evasion or roughly one evasion out of 4 attacks. Well, let's just say that was far from it. I evaded 1 attack out of 25 during that mission. Even worse, my enemy evaded more attacks than me (4).
So how does this skill work? Does it work properly or is it like speed leadership was and kind of buggy?

What about old Ben leader ability? R they aware of that which is also functioning improperly?
I faced a Lumi kead team in GW that evaded maybe 20 attacks on their Jedi side (Yoda, QGJ, Lumi) but Sid and Kylo would evade often too, like every 3 ****. Had no Jedi's other than Kumi so not sure why Sid was so slippery. In general since I had to replay that battle 20 times they would also Resist stuns from Dooku 90% of the time when Jedi's actually should end up stunnnnnnnned 90% of times.
Completely bogus
Under the assumption that evasion can be treated as a Bernoulli trial and therefore modeled as a (implicitly nonnormal) binomial distribution your sample has the following properties:
Mean: 5.875 = 6 evasions (n*p)
Variance: 4.49 = 4 evasions (n*p*q)
CDF (P(X<=x)): .011 or 1.1%
So while it's unlucky that you would get 1 evasion out of 25, it's not so unlikely that it's practically impossible nor is it evidence that anything at all is wrong with evasion leader abilities. I know everyone is probably tired of hearing this but you need a larger sample to prove anything.
Oh I know that my sample is small and I am not basing any assumptions solely on this (I'm actually not making assumptiosn, hence the question of this topic). It's just that, like the other posters said, I felt like the AI dodged often my attacks and rarely saw a difference when I would put a evasion leader on, I decided to actually count the number of evasions during my mission and, while like you said not impossible, was quite low compared to what I would expect from both leadership skills combined.
The sun could rise from the West. The moon may not exist when nobody is watching it. A cat may be dead and alive at the same time. The arrow of time may not exist.
We can make distributions, etc. And ANY outcome would be satisfied, just more common or less comon or extremely rare. However, I've seen insane proc rates in GW from Phasma, Daka, etc. that never happen to me. Maybe the moon isn't there when we don't watch.
You can tell the moon exists when you're not looking at it because there are tides
I don't really understand your point anyway, confidence intervals and hypothesis tests give us a way to prove a variable is within a parameter. That's the whole point of this conversation.
