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.
Driving one evening for dinner on our first date, I told this beautiful young woman that we could celebrate my birthday at dinner. She replied that we could celebrate hers too. "Wow, what a coincidence", I said. "And where were you born?" "Boston", she replied. "Wow, me too." "At what hospital?" I asked. "The US Naval Hospital," she replied. "Wow, me too." "And my father had to bring me home-walking, in his arms-through the worst blizzard in 100 years on the day I was born, because babies were dying from a contageous disease that had infected the maternity ward." "Yep, mine too."
We decided that we were lucky to be alive and then had a very nice evening.
