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 always been curious about this subject and have collected coincidences in my mind over the years.Try this one;
In 1962 I was with a few friends in a tiny remote village in the South of France. We met up with a few locals. I tried to explain that the best car in England was the Rolls Royce without much success. As I was struggling to explain, a Rolls Royce Phanthom 5 passed in front of us to my utter amazement. You must remember this was at a time to see a Rolls Royce Siver Cloud in England was a very rare occurence-the much more expensive Phanthom 5 was never seen.
