%N Decimal expansion of lim_{x->oo} (1/x) * Sum_{s(k+1) <= x} (s(k+1) - s(k))^2, where s(k) = A005117(k) is the k-th squarefree number.
%C Erdős (1951) proved the existence of this limit and Mossinghoff et al. (2021) calculated its first 11 decimal digits.
%C Let g(n) = A076259(n) be the sequence of gaps between squarefree numbers. The asymptotic mean of g is <g> = Pi^2/6 (A013661). The second raw moment of g is <g^2> = (P^2/6) * 2.0407097765... = 3.35683303..., the second central moment, or variance, of g is <g^2> - <g>^2 = 0.651024947... and the standard deviation is sqrt(<g^2> - <g>^2) = 0.8068611...
