In the Indian Jungle

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.

Last year my family went on holiday to Kerala, South India. On one of our adventures we went for a day exploring the Indian Jungle. There were 9 participants, my family of 5, a Dutch family of 3 and a single English girl living in Hong Kong. As we started walking she said that the jungle reminded her of Highgate Woods (not far from where we live in London) and during the conversation we discovered that we both went to the same school (although not at the same time) and had both enjoyed geography with the same teacher.
