Meeting someone 100 years older than you. To the day!!
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.
My daughter was born 29/9/03. My wife brought her into work to show my colleagues after three days. (I work in an operating theatre) As my wife walked out of the door and I checked in my next patient I was stunned to learn that my next patient was also born 29/9/03. Basically on her 100th birthday she had slipped and broken her hip. So what are the chances of meeting someone exactly 100 years older than yourself or your daughter?
Please help me to work it out
Thank you
