A strange meeting!

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 husband had recently died and I was feeling very low. I was walking through an Aberetum and saw an elderly lady sitting looking a bit lonely and not very well, I went to sit beside her. We started to talk and she told me that she had angina. When I told her my name she said that she had had a dear friend many years before who had danced with her in the Larbon company in London. The lady was my husbands Aunt who had lived with us in her last years and who I had been very fond of. The lady and I became close till she sadly died but I felt she came into my life at a very auspicious moment.
