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.
When my son started school,the headmaster said there were already children with the same surname at the school and were we related? We said no,but later found out that their dad was my husband's cousin. My husband hadn't seen his cousin for about 30 years when they lived over 10 miles away.The chances of them both ending up living in the same town and going to the same school must be slim,especially as there are several first schools in our town.
