I'm definitely not suggesting her crime was average, rather I was curious to understand how her sentence fits into the statistical distribution of sexual abuse sentences. Because I had no idea whether 20 is crazy high, bang average, crazy low.
Unfortunately, without having the standard deviation of the distribution, it's difficult to draw strong conclusions from these data points. All we can really say is that she received a 25.6%-higher-than-average sentence.
25.6% above the mean could be an "industrial scale" number of standard deviations above the mean, we have no idea.
Knowing HN, I hope it's only a matter of time before someone computes it for us!
