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.

My son Daniel and I were playing darts. He has no technique and just chucks the darts and hopes for the best, often missing the board completely. After a while he had a go and his 3 darts happened to land in the treble 20, then 18, then also a treble 10, totalling 98, an amazingly good score for him. I had my go, then Daniel stepped up again. He threw a treble 20, 18, and treble 10, totalling 98. Exactly the same, in the same order, 2 goes running, just by complete chance - no skill involved!
