Features: This book is a preparation guide for the postgraduate entrance examination subjects "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" for students majoring in engineering, economics, and management. It is compiled based on the lecture notes of the author from various test preparation courses held across the country 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 an analysis of questions from 2000 to 2005, including "Question Analysis," "Content Analysis," and "Type Analysis." Appendix B includes cumulative distribution function tables for the normal distribution (B2), chi-square distribution (B3), t-distribution (B4), and F-distribution (B5) according to the newly issued national standards, which are officially used in postgraduate entrance examinations. For the convenience of candidates' review, each sub-section of the book proposes several questions for reflection and leaves space for candidates to fill in answers. The author, with years of teaching experience in test preparation courses across the country, deeply understands the difficulties and confusions of candidates. Therefore, the book closely aligns with the examination syllabus and practical exam scenarios. Each chapter includes a knowledge network diagram and assessment requirements, providing multi-faceted and multi-angle analyses of key and challenging content. It also poses questions for candidates to consider regarding assessment points and explains typical examples with multiple solutions to broaden students' thinking and quickly improve their ability to analyze and solve problems in exercises and practical applications. This book can serve as a teaching reference or preparation guide for postgraduate entrance examinations in mathematics (I, III, IV) for students majoring in engineering, economics, and management, as well as for undergraduate students in science and technology, economics, and management, and mathematicians.
