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.

My parents are Ronald and Dorothy H (nee T). When my birth was registered the registrar was a lady by the name of Dorothy T-H. To have a mother who was Dorothy T who became Dorothy H and a registrar called Dorothy T-H has always seemed a strange coincidence to me. This occurred in late 1956 in Lancashire. Steve H
