cup and saucer.

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 received a cup and saucer from an Aunt who used to own a sweet shop,it was used as a display item,It was very large and used to sit on a dresser.An accident happened and the saucer was broken.The next day while walking to work I went a different way passing a junk shop,in the window was an identical saucer,I asked the owner if I could have a look at it,she replied that it was not valuable without the cup! after buying it I explained about how I had broken one the same the previous day and still had the cup,she then explained that she had only put it in the window the day before. Date 1987 I still have both the cup and saucer sadly the shop is now a house.
