Thoughts into Actions
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 coach gymnastics and we had a competition coming up that weekend. it was in a city that started with an “A”. There were two cities that i kept getting mixed up thinking it was in one then the other and i had to keep checking where it was. I thought “what if i go to the wrong place and the right one is a half hour away.” the night before i look up the location to make sure it’s all set. the next morning i confidently put it in the GPS and go. when i get there it was the wrong place and i put in the wrong town. when i put in the right town the GPS said “28 minutes”.... it was so weird how i had this thought and it came true... not the first time this has happened
