Interesting Data on Finalists in Fargo

Recommended Posts

As most of you know, I am a stats person and I have always wondered if it was an advantage for a wrestler to be born in certain months.  There was actually a study done with major league baseball players in that most US born players were born in August and September because August is(maybe was) the cut-off date for little leaguers(article http://www.slate.com/id/2188866/ ).  So I decided to do a little study on the finalists from Fargo the past four years and here is the data.

 

Month  Jr Cadet

January 20 33

February 16 21

March  20 38

April      13 23

May      14 22

June      18 34

July      30 20

August  27 24

September 14 14

October 20 18

November 21 6

December 25 17

 

By three month breakdown

Month  Jr            Cadet

Jan-Mar 56(23.5%) 92(34.0%)

April-June 45(18.9%) 79(29.3%)

July-Sept  71(29.8%) 58(21.5%)

Oct-Dec  66(27.7%) 41(15.2%)

*Should be 25% if perfect

 

By six month breakdown

Month  Jr            Cadet

Jan-June 101(42.4%)   171(63.3%)

July-Dec 127(57.6%)     99(36.7%)

*Should be 50% if perfect

 

Average Age of Finalists

Cadets Avg Age

2009 15.89

2008 15.93

2007 15.80

2006 15.94

Total 15.89

*Note the age range is 16.5 years to 14.5 years

 

Juniors Avg Age

2009 17.83

2008 17.61

2007 17.18

2006 17.25

Total 17.47

*Note the age range is 16.5 years to 19.9 years

 

 

It looks more even for Juniors, but it is very much different when you compare the Cadet age division.

Thanks for the info Y2.  But, I could have used this a few years ago when my wife and I were planning to have children.

 

I would have been involved in "the negotiations" about the conception date.  At the time I was just happy to participate. ;D
