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.

Alabama Rot aka Idiopathic Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy (CRGV) is a disease in UK dogs first recognised in November 2012. Up to December 2014 there have been 65 recorded cases: 46 confirmed dog deaths, 12 unconfirmed deaths and 7 unconfirmed cases where dogs survived – an 89% mortality rate. Of the 46 confirmed CRGV cases, 21 cases (45%) are scattered throughout England, 25 cases (55%) are in 3 clusters (>3 confirmed cases): New Forest (16 cases), Greater Manchester (5 cases) and Guildford, Surrey (4 cases).
What is the probability that the 3 clusters of Alabama Rot occurred by chance?
