understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I am the father of 3 children and two of them, born 8 years apart, share my birthday. I have read and listened on radio 4 to David discuss the probability that there would be 8 families in the uk with 3 children in a family sharing a birthday; but I wonder - is it any more or less likely for a parent and 2 children?
