Eton PM Question
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.
My question (sorry) is about the coincidence of Eton old boys becoming Prime Minister (19 thus far) what chance of someone born in social housing (15%? of us) becoming PM versus someone who's been to Eton(0.0001%)?
Many thanks
