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 just bought a puppy for his son on Tuesday 12/20/2016. She has an amazingly beautiful white face so his son decided to name her Princess Leia after the Star Wars character since she wears all white. I thought it was so unique he picked that name for the puppy and was it completely out of the ordinary and quite original. On Tuesday December 27 2016, a week later, Carrie Fisher who played the original Princess Leia passed away.
