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 husband was on the way down Mount Kinabalu in Borneo when he collapsed and died. Some climbers had passed a few minutes before but heard the commotion and came back.an Australian couple were life savers and tried resuscitation.with them was another English couple who were on a gap year. A few days later they English couple sent an email to my husbands niece saying there had been up Mount Kinabalu but on the way up they had this experience and gave his name. Imagine how comforted the family felt knowing there was someone they knew with their brother/nieces and nephews. Only months before the couple were at the wedding of my husband's niece. We were all in a photo together.
