So yes, you are correct, but the math still works out the same.
That is not corect. You would have to do some testing or find some sort of chart, to see what the mass of air traped in the cyclinder is at % throatle. There is no liniar relationship between % throatle position and mass of air traped in the cylinder under variouse % throatle.
