Features: This book is a preparation guide for the "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" exam subject for postgraduate entrance exams in engineering, economics, and management. It is compiled based on the lecture notes of the author from various national postgraduate tutoring classes over the years. The book is divided into five chapters: Random Events and Probability, Random Variables and Their Distributions, Multidimensional Random Variables and Their Distributions, Numerical Characteristics of Random Variables and the Central Limit Theorem, and Mathematical Statistics. Appendix A, "Analysis of Past Exam Questions," provides "question analysis," "content analysis," and "question type analysis" for the years 2000 to 2005. Appendix B includes B2-B5, which are the quantile tables for the normal distribution, chi-square distribution, t-distribution, and F-distribution according to the newly issued national standards. These tables are officially used in postgraduate entrance exams. For the convenience of candidates' review, each sub-section of the book proposes several questions for reflection and leaves blank spaces for candidates to fill in. The author of this book has years of teaching experience in postgraduate tutoring classes across the country and deeply understands the difficulties and confusions of candidates. Therefore, the book closely aligns with the exam syllabus and practical exam scenarios. In each chapter, knowledge network diagrams and assessment requirements are compiled, allowing the book to closely align with the exam syllabus and practical scenarios. It provides multi-faceted and multi-angle analyses of key and difficult content, while also posing questions for candidates to reflect on the key assessment points. Typical examples are explained using multiple methods to broaden students' thinking and quickly improve candidates' abilities in analyzing and solving problems in exercises and practical applications. This book can be used as a teaching reference or tutoring material for postgraduate entrance exams in mathematics I, III, and IV for engineering, economics, and management majors, or as a learning reference for undergraduate students in science and technology, economics, and management, as well as for mathematicians.
