Organizado em tópicos que exploram ao limite dados, probabilidade e inferência, este livro adapta ao contexto de estatística empresarial a abordagem do ensino introdutório anteriormente adotado em textos de grande aceitação como Introdução à Prática da Estatística e A Estatística Básica e sua Prática, ambos da LTC. Como esses livros, A Prática da Estatística Empresarial utiliza dados reais nos exemplos e exercícios, e enfatiza tanto o pensamento estatístico como o domínio das técnicas.

What do you get when you mix multiple nationalities and personalities with an island paradise and a boatload of creative ideas? For one eclectic (and some may say eccentric) band of scribes, it was the Phuket Writers' Group. Our monthly collaboration over the course of several months culminated in this collection. The pages of this anthology contain the musings of a group of writers who come together each month to collaborate, encourage, and inspire each other. The stories inside span the globe, delving into deep issues of loss and spiritual growth, uplifting stories of love, and new discoveries. You'll be transported back in time to the days of gold rush fever; drawn into tales of ghostly apparitions and eye-opening explorations (both geographic and personal); and get a unique peek into the life of a UN diplomat. Each story is filled with emotion and introspection that will keep readers turning the pages.

It is important to remember that we are ruled by our minds. Our reality is our perception. How can we move forward when that becomes untrustworthy, how do we move forward when we become aware that our perception is different than that of everyone around us?Our very sanity comes into question; we can't shake the notion that we might be mad. Or worse, what if we aren't insane. What if everything we see exists?Included in this anthology are 13 stories of shifted perceptions by up and coming horror authors. You'll find the stories inside bizarre, bloody, and upsetting. But before you open this collection and enjoy the stories inside, remember...You were warned.
