There are really two different ways to answer these types of questions:
The quick and dirty (from Christy), which is prefixed with "In general" or "Loosely speaking" is meant to give the poster of the question an idea of what he could expect in quick and simple terms. It does rely on certain past statistics. Real easy answer that leaves room for further research should the person be interested.
Then there's the "Technically speaking" reply that is designed to take consideralbly more time to explain and sometimes leaves people confused. More accurate and detailed and takes more effort to absorb.
IMHO, there is a place for both. Some are interested in details and some are not. There are limitations with both.
