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.
Over 40 years ago my mother worked with a young girl in an estate agents in Kent. This girl got married at the age of about 18 and had a son about a year later.She used to tell me about this and how the girl brought the baby to see her in the office. I lived 300 miles away at the time in Newcastle on Tyne where my daughter was born so never met them. Time passed and my mum lost touch with her. I moved back to Kent when my daughter was 5. About 12 years later when my daughter was about 17 she got a new boyfriend who she eventually married and had 2 children with. He turned out to be the son of the girl mum had worked with, so we became related through marriage. Unfortunately my mum died before they married but had got to know him and spoke to his mother on the phone. So now Nikki and I share grandchildren 40 years after my mum and her met.
