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.
Last month, my wife and I randomly got a room at the hard rock casino in Biloxi Ms. I had to work the next day, and later on she decided to take the kids down to the hotel pool. There she started talking to a lady that was letting her child play as well, after awhile they started to chat. My wife asked where the lady was from; she said from a little town called pumpkin center about 150 miles away. My wife said that is where she was from, said her parents still lived there, and that her dad helped run a church in town. The lady knew the church, and knew my father in law also. The lady had then said that she and her husband had just gone on vacation. They had gone to Grants Pass Or, and the red wood national park for the 4th of july. We had gone to the red woods, and Grants Pass on the those same dates, 2000 miles away.
