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 name is Clive. I am a peripatetic music teacher. In late October, 2008, my wife and I were visting Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour. There, we met Miss H, who had previously taught at a school I visit. In late October, 2010, we were visting Shaftesbury (of Gold Hill fame) and there, we met Miss H again. I suspect that the probability of two such chance encounters is small but would appreciate knowing just how small.
