Why is the result of the average displacement less than the maximum displacement

I am trying to find a torsional irregularity. In ETABS I can have the average displacement and maximum displacement. With these two max/average values I can find the ratio

 

How is it possible that the average is less than the maximum?
Thank you.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

 

I asked the question wrong, I mean how is it possible that the maximum displacement is less than the average displacement.
Thank you.

I attached the model.

Thanks Simau, you're right, everything is fine from the graphic results; but in the tables the information does not match and this is an error.
I trust the tables, and I take the results of the tables. I have made a video where you can see that the tables do not have the same values as in the graphic window.

Thank you for your time.

In the first message your question was :

"how is it possible that the maximum displacement is less than the average displacement. "

So we have the max displacement bigger than the average.

For your last remark, I agree there is a mismach for the average between the table and the graphic, but i can't explain it
