Shopping coincidence

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 daughter and I went into a supermarket together, she got all her stuff (just a few items) and I carried on shopping, I got lots of things (as much as I could carry) when I got to the car I said I had spent £27 (27.32). She sent me a photo of her receipt this evening, she had spent exactly £27.32 too.
