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 helped a stranger in Orly airport carry her bag from the bus to the terminal. On the way she asked me about my star sign. In the exchange that followed we determined that we were born on the same day, month, and year, and this was confirmed by our passports. I find this very surprising because not only did we have the same birthday but we discovered this fact during our short meeting.
