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.
In 2005, preparing for a family barbecue I called at Sainsbury's and bought a selection of meat, paying with my bank debit card. On the way out I called at the supermarket's petrol station and filled up, paying with my Co-op credit card. At the end of the month, checking off my receipts against my bank statement and a few days later my credit card statement, I discover that both amounts are exactly the same: £38.64p.
