September the 5th

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.

a) My paternal Grandfather died on September 5th, 1997, my paternal Grandmother died on September 5th, 2001. My sister's son was born September 5th, 2005. All to the day, 4 years apart! b) I had a vision one night when I was about 12 years old that I was holding a neighbour's garden hose. The very next day, I was walking passed her house as she was watering the garden. Her phone statred to ring & so she asked me to hold the hose as she ran to answer it.
