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.
Two years ago I was in the early stages of pregnancy, anxiously awaiting test results which would confirm the baby would be healthy, having previously lost a baby.
Whilst shopping one day, near to the time my results were due, I was driving around a busy car park, looking for an available space, when I saw a gap ahead, as I reversed my car into the space I saw something laying on the ground, when I got out to look there was a pink baby blanket lying in this parking space. The following week, I received my test results, confirming I was expecting a healthy baby girl.
Also during this time, my mum, who was very anxious on my behalf, was searching through a pile of birthday cards, when one fell face down to the floor. As she picked it up, she saw it was birth congratulations card, for a baby girl.
