2. .8, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.2, 7

average = 1.857 or about 1.86 years in prison
median = 1

The median is the most appropriate way to configure the average prison term because the 7 year prison term is an irregular extreme that throws off the calculations of the mean. Because the mean is affected by the 7 year figure when averaging the numbers one is left to believe that the average prison term is 2 years when in reality the average prison term is only 1 year.
