Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Statistical statements and results are read and used in everyday life and are also presented in the form of charts and diagrams. This book covers basic introductory statistics and brings to light how these statistical results are arrived at, starting with the collection of the data, its organization and summarisation, followed by the mathematical tools used both graphical and analytical to depict, describe, analyse and interpret the data.The book begins with a chapter that discusses what is data, types of data, and examines the difference between data collected for a population as opposed to a sample. The chapters that follow go on to discuss the organisation and summarisation of data in the form of frequency distributions to make it clearer and more manageable to deal with. Also covered are various graphical devices such as bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, frequency polygons, by which data may be depicted to make it easier to visualize and reveal any patterns or trends. Attention is then directed to analytical methods used to describe and characterise data sets by calculating some special numbers called numerical descriptive measures which include measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), measures of dispersion (range, standard variation, variance), measures of relative standing (percentiles, quartiles, z- scores) and measures of association (coefficient of correlation). The book concludes with a chapter presenting some basic methods of fitting a straight line to a data set that shows a somewhat linear relationship between two variables thus allowing predictions to be made about the value of one variable given the value of the other variable.Within each chapter wherever new statistical terms are introduced for the first time they are identified in bold type and at the end of each chapter these key terms are summarised and defined or explained. There are also various detailed worked examples in each chapter to help the reader improve his/her understanding of the material discussed.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Perry, William (illustratore). Neuware - It's easy to see that building the Egyptian pyramids using a ramp would have been impractical and too labor intensive to make sense. And it's doubtful to think they were built by aliens or giant people, big cranes or flying machines. But how were they built After years of pondering and running model after model through my mind, I have come up with a theory that makes sense, seems to answer all unreasonable questions, and is clearly possible in their days using simple physics, mechanical means, common materials, and skilled human beings. This plan uses 0.1 percent the energy needed to drag a stone up a ramp and to set a stone on top of the pyramid every two to three minutes, putting the stone cutters to their limit.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The story takes place in three periods: the present, the past, and in a stream of consciousness that randomly appears throughout the novel as thoughts appear to us every day. This is written in italics and is semiautobiographical.The Holocaust is only a small part of the story. The actual story is about local, prominent men, who belong to the same restricted country club and who engage in projects, at taxpayer expense, that nets them huge profits. They think that their actions benefit the city but, in actuality, are harmful, wasteful and destructive. There is a portrait gallery in the Quail Roost Club that features portraits of these important club members with vivid descriptions of their activities and actions. The president of the club takes a Jewish real estate agent on a tour of the gallery even though the club is restricted. The novel also delves into aging, time, survival, and the meaning of existence. It briefly mentions the death of Jesus. The novel also deals with how nefarious Nazis are able to escape to South America and then to the United States and how they deal with guilt, evil, and denial. Love, sex, humility, humanity, and humor are also subjects that are covered in this novel. The fact that I was the only Jew in two of the schools I attended and how it affected me through the stream of consciousness is a vital part of the story. Being a minority person seems to have bothered other people more than it bothered me, but I was confronted with problems that most people didn't face.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - They were born within a day of one another, of Capote women who were distant cousins. The clan had broken winter camp near the rust-red sandstone pinnacles of South-Central Colorado. The location was later to be known as the Garden of the Gods. It was on the trail to the summer hunting grounds where game abounded and where the heat pushed back the heavy snows and biting cold of winter. The migration of the people had occurred for many generations, and countless stories of the history of the Capote people were shared with the young time and time again. Family histories were painted on the surface of buffalo skin teepees to teach and remind the young of the many coups of their forefathers. However, the seminal histories of the tribe were to be found on the skins of the ceremonial lodge. The stories constituted the sinew that bound the people one to another. It was a tough life. It was a good life. It was their life. And the Capote people needed to be strong.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - All of this started when I made my own sudoku puzzles, which I started doodling in to add a little more color.

The opera dramaturgy is an expression of social interrelation-the individual follows a social-psychological process and their impact on the musical language. The objective borders of the philosophical context are outlined. The theoretical analysis develops further to the practical. The sphere of theory is leaved through the creation of work hypotheses for stage setting and begins a process of transference from author's intention to analogue decisions for interpretation.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Coveted Recipe may be a part of that story, only steeped in the Dark Ages. I am not sure what it is and where it belongs. Is it an adult fairy tale A sad tragedy of times past Or a parable of human nature that in changing remains the same, where innocent people are caught in webs of misplaced fears, laws, and regulations It came to me on a sunny day in Berlin as I sat in an U-Bahn that passed along the broken graffiti-smeared Berlin Wall, thinking how it had locked people in-like the Iron Curtain-and how many suffered and died behind those walls that had cut through lives and loves, leaving trails of guilt and sin on all sides. And then I thought about punishments, such as witch hunts and dungeons and prisons and wars. Seeing the devastation through a foggy window, I hoped that the train was speeding into a new and better age . . .

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - She was five-six, slim, with nonconspicuous well-formed breasts, artistically curving into a long neck, bearing delicate features. She was endowed with soft skin, delicately shaped cheekbones, and slightly pouting healthy lips with a perpetual pleasant smile. Her beautiful chin was accentuated with a tiny birth mark above the right jaw beneath a pleasant forehead. Beautifully slanted wide hazel-gray eyes with naturally thick black eyelashes displayed sparkles of hope and light.Topping her head were soft dark brown waves of hair, which, on the job, she wore in two big braids arranged together into a crown-like bow that made her look taller. She looked her best though when she arranged her hair in a wide strand of shiny waves, resembling a mix of light and dark-shaded gold flowing on the left-hand side of her chest. Occasionally, she let her hair naturally spread to medium length over her back, covering her shoulder blades. Kathy seemed never to forget that she was an attractive woman and took pride in that fact. She was invariably confident, low-keyed, and gentle.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One Yooper's Journey: An Unauthorized Autobiography is a fictionalized autobiography. It needs to be fictionalized just as a resume needs to be embellished. It may not be as believable, but the fictionalized parts are intended to be much more entertaining. The events described in the book really happened. The specifics, such as the minute details and the dialogue, may not be historically accurate. The term unauthorized autobiography, though somewhat oxymoronic, has a purpose. Real Yoopers may take exception to the use of this word in the title, since the author has lived most of his life outside of the Upper Peninsula. His journey parallels at times and intersects at other times with the journey of his favorite relative-his Uncle Hal Nowell. Uncle Hal teams up with him from time to time with a mix of shared adventures and misadventures. The author was positively influenced by the town and the many good people of Escanaba.
