Pictures at an exhibition
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.
In the mid-nineties I went to University in Yorkshire and would get the coach home to Wales which would always involve a change at Birmingham.
On one occasion we nearly missed the change, so with only a few seats remaining on the departing coach I sat down next to an elderly woman for the onwards journey.
We got chatting and it turned out that not only had she been evacuated to my town in west Wales during WW2 but she’d actually lived in a house which (though it’s since been rebuit on the same site) was then surrounded by fields and is now in the street I grew up in. My oldest friend’s grandparents live there and have done my entire life.
