Australian holiday

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.

On holiday in Australia we stayed a few days in Noosa, Queensland. It rained so we went to a bar. We got talking to the only three other people; the couple lived in St Leonards-on-Sea which is a few miles from our hometown Bexhill-on-Sea. The first day back at work a customer whose car was booked in for repair that day said "I hear you had rain in Noosa". The couple had got home before us and were the customer's neighbours.
