words on radio!
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.
Not so much one coincidence, as an ongoing series of coincidences! This may not be unusual, but we have Radio 4 on much of the time, and one day I noticed that I would quite often be saying, reading or typing a word, and that precise moment the same word would be spoken on the radio. This happens nearly every day at some point, and the words involved are not common words, but words like discipline, contradiction, or believe. Perhaps it's inevitable for this to happen occasionally, but every day?!
