Voodoo coincidence or anxiety?
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 was really worried about something that I won't explain here. So I started overthinking like I usually do and my mind went to catch all unreasonable things that I could imagine for what I was worried about. So I started reading something about paranormal activities and voodoo and at the same time I received a message on a WhatsApp group about someone who was talking about voodoo rites (she was talking about it just for fun). Like you can imagine I thought there was a paranormal reason for that coincidence. I know, I'm a bit anxious!
