Predictions by Statistics - Spring and Summer

If you believe as I do that astrology is another form of personality profiling, then you might also believe that regular math and statistics can also help to predict the future. Here are some Spring and Summer statistical predictions of human behavior as reported in the New York Post. This data was culled from various scientific sources:

APRIL, MAY, OCTOBER: Most likely to volunteer. The spring and fall see a spike in tweets regarding volunteering — particularly at the start of April, beginning of May and early October, while summertime is quieter, according to Mislove and Lehmann’s data. “It may have to do with folks vacationing,” Lehmann says about why the summer is a quieter time for volunteering. *

SUMMER: When men and women are likely to cheat Keep a close eye on your man during the summer, ladies — he’s more likely to shack up with another woman during the warm, balmy summer months. Kruger attributes this to several factors, including the hot weather. “It can be based on a combination of opportunities,” Kruger says. “[For example,] people are more likely to be traveling on the summer holidays.” Is your gal pal going on vacay with the girls? Beware. Women are also more prone to cheating on their fellas when they’re on annual leave. “People are not normally in their stable environments and are more likely to be on the beach, scantily clad in their swimsuits,” Kruger says. *
