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.
A coincidence connected with Australia. We were visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Salisbury, Australia just outside Adelaide. During our visit my Aunt and Uncle took my husband and I on a week’s holiday to several places around Melbourne, Victoria, a 2 day drive away. One of our stops was a small coastal town called Robe. Whilst there we went for a walk on the cliff top and found a collection of classic cars. They had driven all the way from Adelaide on a car rally and amongst the drivers was a woman that my Aunt knew. She was the mother of one of my cousins (Aunts son) school friends. Two days drive away from home and meeting someone from the same school run.
