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 living in St. Leonards-on sea, about twenty years ago when my strange event happened. There was a small co-op store nearby, which i would shop at regularly. I lost a five pound note in an isle, which was very unlike me. I remembered exactly where i dropped it, and two days later i found a five pound note in the very same place. "That's a coincidence" i thought to myself. I must say, while i'm here, that my husband often comments on something being weird, and seems to happen particularly to me. I reply that thousands of small events happen every day, which nothing is noticed or commented on. I think if everything was recorded, it would not seem quite as odd. I would absolutely love to know whether i am on the right track or not. Thanks,
Lucy Pine
