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.
Me and my friend like a boy. We were going to a Halloween party where he was attending as well. We constantly made assumptions about his costume. We jokingly said, "imagine if he wears a Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned with his abs hahaha that would be so hot!". As we arrive we see he is not wearing that costume. What are the odds of him wearing the costume simply created in our joke? Later that night, we look over and TO OUR SURPRISE he is wearing the unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt! Out of the infinite amount of costumes he ended up wearing the own, we constantly imagined.
