Festivals and a marriage

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.

My friend was at a festival a few years ago. Gets talking (and drinking!) with the lady in the tent next to her. They're discussing my friend's daughter and the lady jokingly says that if the daughter gets engaged can she come to the wedding. One year later, that same festival weekend, it's my friend's daughter's wedding. The daughter takes her mum to meet her husband's aunt.... it's the lady from the tent. She got to go to the wedding after all!
