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.
Yesterday evening we drove to Portsmouth to celebrate my daughters birthday. On the way to the restaurant we were over taken by a car with a similar number plate to ours. On closer inspection it proved to be the exact car number plate that preceded our own, meaning that our two cars were then in number order on the road. What is even more unusual about this is that I bought my car in Leicester, not in the Portsmouth area!
