Heading that way
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.
I was looking through some old books, with my earphones in as I also listened to a play on the radio. I found an old book and started thumbing through it, finding a page to read at random. My eyes alighted on the text: “What are we going to do next?” she asked, “do you think we should head that way?” No sooner had I finished reading those words than a character in the radio play in my ears suddenly stated “I wouldn’t head that way if I was you!”, as though answering what I had just read on the page even though it was in a completely different context.
