Gravestone Death

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 was on Facebook and saw something in my newsfeed...a friend of mine tagged someone on their wall saying they missed them. Curious I had a look on the person's profile. The guy had died in 2015 and friends had been posting messages saying they missed him. I had a look through his photographs and noticed the lad died on my birthday. 20th of May. Ki d of freaked me out as I had an operation today and was scared of dying but luckily I am okay lol.
