Shared Birthday and Three Christian Names

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.

Hi there, While 'doing our family tree' recently I found the following from unrelated parts of our family tree Kenneth Alexander Edward James W (born 11 December 1948) Alexander Edward James H (born 11 December 1999) Three Christian names in common AND in the same order AND the same birthday!!! What are the chances of that??? Family tree available on request.
