Shopping

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.

I was at home (in Devon) reading a fashion article in the Times about a raincoat on sale in Miu Miu in Covent Garden in London. My son lives and works in London so I rang him on his mobile to ask him if he should happen to find himself in that area to buy it and post it to me. His reply was that he was in Miu Miu at that very moment standing next to the raincoats I was referring to. He is somebody who is not very keen on shopping so that made it more of a surprise.! I got my raincoat. Isobel Langton
