Well, no not really

Those figures are generic. In reality there are many things that can 
affect both quality and size.
The kind of video used as a source, the amount of visual detail, the 
preset used or other settings all have a big impact either on size or 
quality of the encode.

So what is your goal, would you want high quality, small file sizes or 
fast encoding speed? All these things you need to trade off to get to 
your optimum encoding settings. Do some trial runs with small samples to 
find out what suits your needs.
