The same birthday

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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.

We listened to your interview just this morning on radio 4 about your study Then on the same day -Tonight - our new next door neighbours came round for dinner for the first time and we discovered that the two men have the same birthday, May 10! So is that two coincidences ??
