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.
We sent our youngest son to a new school in Y3. He immediately made a new friend and they were soon inseparable. One day the friend's father told me he had an ancestor with our name and offered to show me his Family Tree. When he did I was shocked because it was MY family tree. It turned out that we shared an ancestor and that me and my son's friend were in fact 3rd cousins.
