Living her life a year later

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 have known my best friend for 24 years and we have little coincidences constantly. We both (unknowingly to each other) got pregnant with our first children within a month of each other and whenever we saw eachother I'd happen to be wearing blue and her red, I had a boy she had a girl. Last January she was pregnant again and moving house as she was offered a great deal on her house. This january I am pregnant and out of the blue have been offered a great deal on my house. My baby is due on 13th July, the date her baby was born last year. Nothing too crazy, but these coincidences happen so much between us.
