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 have had 4 separate incidents/accidents relating to riding a motorcycle on a Friday 13th. I am not superstitious and it was only after the second incident this occurred to me. This happened over a period of years and as my use of a motorcycle infrequent it seems statistically improbable. My birthday this year is a Friday the 13th, needless to say it will avoid any contact with the offending objects :-)
