Hannahs Rice Krispies

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 doing an online grocery shop on Friday evening. Alone in the house and I didnt write a shopping list. When I got to the cereal section I thought that I might like some rice krispes this week. A minute later I ordered cornflakes because they were likely to be eaten by more people in the house. Today (Monday) I came home from work to find that my daughter had bought a box of rice krispies because 'there were none in the cupboard and she just fancied them' I cant remember seeing an advert or talking about them!. Jut a coincidence I suppose!
