Cow correctly named

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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 bought two pedegree cows. My daughter looked at one and said, "I think we had better call that one Mandy" I explained that because they are pedegree the cows already had names and that we will find out their names when we get their pedegree certificates in the post. The next day the certificates came and the one she had named Mandy was indeed called Mandy. (The other one was called May, but she hadnt bothered naming that one after I had told her they already had names)
