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 name is Mo and I am the eldest of five siblings. I
was born in Zanzibar on in February 1966 on a Sunday. I have three brothers &
one sister born in the UK and they were all born on a Sunday.
My sister is the youngest and was due on my birthday in February 1979 but was
born two days early. My mother was so afraid while she was in labour that the
baby was going to be another boy because it was a Sunday but as luck would
have it she got her princess in the end.
I'm not sure how freaky this is and I'm interested in knowing what the
probability is with one out of seven days times five children.
