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 on holiday in China with my family one summer when we decided to travel to see a small attraction which was about an hour and a half away from Beijing. On arriving, we get out of our taxi to see our immediate next door neighbours getting off a bus to go look at the same attraction! We didnt know they were going to China too, let alone same place and same time. Moreover, we very rarely see them when at home and have never bumped into them anywhere else before.
