Mmm no, expected and mean are the same thing in this context. The expected value of a random variable is just its weighted average.

And Croq, I'm betting your program is fine, but I'm also betting you're trying to find the wrong value. That 32 value you stated is probably closer to 31.9, and is the median of the data. In other words you've found the value where 50% of the area under the "curve" lies. For a normal distribution that would be the same as the mode and mean, but because this distribution follows a log-normal the mean, median, and mode are all different.
