cousins hiking in Wyoming

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.

My brother Jay and wife are in their 60's and vacationing in Alaska earlier this month and then headed south into western US for hiking....There was a family reunion in NY 7/4th weekend with my cousins....including cousin Marti and her family.......They headed west after that weekend....My brother Jay and my cousin Marti had no idea they were both headed to western US.....A couple of days ago Jay and Laura were walking down a trail in Wyoming and said to a young man "go Steelers" since he had a Steelers shirt on....That family of 5 was going up the mountain trail....As they passed each other Marti said that "you" look like my cousin (they had not seen each other in years).....Sure enough!!! To think if Jay had not said go Steelers they may not have noticed!!!! On a sidelight the same brother Jay and wife had gone to Boston a couple of months ago and was walking the back streets of the city when walking toward them was another cousin who Jay didn't even know lived in BOston!
