Symmetric Families
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.
When my husband and I met, we found our families were exactly symmetrical up to first cousins, with male and female being reversed. I have one just one brother, he has just one sister; my father is an only child, his mother is an only child; my mother has just one sister, his father has just one brother; we both have just one first cousin, mine is male, his is female. Best of all my paternal grandparents were called Doris and Frank and his maternal grandparents were called Doris and Frank!
