Wet Feet

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.

Last month I purchased two gallons of tea. As I walked to my car, one slipped from hand and I dropped it. The plastic gallon container busted and tea went all over my feet. Twenty minutes later, I opened the refrigerator at home and a wine bottle fell and shattered. Once again, my feet were wet. Three hours pass. My husband places a beer on the hood of his truck. It slides down onto the garage floor. For the third time that day, my feet were wet.
