Meeting at the Races

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 had been clearing out my fathers house following his passing and had all sorts of stuff in the boot of the car and when I sorted it out I put back in the boot of my car my dads binoculars and quite randomly a photo of my cousin audrey with her horse. Shortly after sorting It I went to Bangor races with a friend and to my amazement my cousin Audrey approached us in the paddock. She said that as she approached usit was just as though she were meeting my father. I told her about the picture that I had put in the car and she was intrigued why I had put it there to which I had no explanation. That day I lost my dads binocs as well. It was almost as though he had influenced my actions to see his favourite neice who had looked out for him in his latter years. He loved the races so maybe hes got the binocs in his new life.
