Are you referring to that old misogynist joke: "Women have very clean minds, they change them frequently!" ?
Fortunately my wife is quite consistent, and has the same kind of dirty mind that I do!

A good âbot could sniff it out of millions of images on various photo sharing sites, dump it into a database, and calculate mean, mode, median, AND correlate with whatever else is mined.
For a nice lazy computerized but more random and philosophical answer: (that suits my view point) :-) ...
google:
What takes 1/250th of a second
About 223,000 results that looks like this:

Insert your best guess where the Xs are and google:
What takes X/XXXth of a second
who will be the winner with the most results? :-)

Actually I graduated a few years ago. I managed to get a job my field, photography, before I graduate and I am also a practicing artist giving lectures and exhibiting and selling my work.

Certainly not but I thought it might a nice break from the far too often boring discussions on here about which camera is good or better than another.

I phones are for the point & shoot crowd. Camera phones wont give you the shutter speed because people that use them don't care. A camera to the point & shoot crowd is just an appliance to be used over and over again without worrying about what settings the camera used.Let say I use my IPhone as is. I can't set the shutter speed but is there any way to find out which shutter speed the phone used?

A little noise is always, for me, preferably to motion blur.
Use as fast a shutter speed as conditions reasonably allow.

"You might think that". I will avoid the additional House of Cards iconic line, "I couldn't possibly comment.", since you are categorically and completely wrong. Although most people use smart phone cameras as point and shoot cameras, they are capable of significantly more, and can be used as such by those that wish to do so. There are plenty that use mirrorless cameras or DSLRs as point and shoot cameras also.

Well, I'll respond with a non-abstract answer. Unless the image will be a time lapse with "cottony water" etc ... usually shutter speed is a function of simply avoiding camera movement that would cause a soft image in focus or not). I learned to evaluate a photo starting with choosing an F-stop for desired or required depth of field first. If depth of field was a moot point (focus at infinity most likely) then one has several choices for shutter speed that will produce sharp images without an "action" subject. And so it goes. Its kinda like Mozart said to the King in Amedeus when asked if he had used too many notes. Mozart replied... "only as many notes as I needed". Shutter speed used is simply what will provide a quality image...no more, no less... what other significance matters??

No need for absolute data, though it would be interesting.
In my work involving time I have begun to consider my photographs as a slice of time rather than an object.
For instance, if I were to print and display 125 photographs on a wall that were shot at 1/125 of a second, the entire wall would portray only 1 second of time.
This line of thinking was primarily influenced by Hiroshi Sugimoto's Theaters and Andy Warhol's Screen Tests.

If you define your "slice of time as printing and displaying" than your 1 second is only the "taking" of the photograph. You have omitted the printing time and displaying time and any post production time. This is a good example of why most people are late for almost everything because they omit the details that are needed to complete the job.

That only matters in the creation of the physical object. It has no influence on the amount of time it portrays.

For most of us who take photographs shutter speed is a tool, it is an adjustment for an effect. Not an element of the end product, the end product is the result of the applied tool. All photographs are moments in time, once seals on film or now in the digital form, they become static time stands still, a moment that can never return. It is infinitely long and infinitely short. In a single image all elements can be in play. If you set up a time exposure of traffic on a busy highway at night, the highway will be clear and in focus suspended in time, but the lights of the cars moving through the frame will be long ribbons of illumination traveling through time. But when the shutter closes the time has passed. Shutter speed, like Aperture, and ISO are parameters to be used like brushes for the artist.
