二、數(shù)學(xué)考察的題型
四種題型：
1. 數(shù)值比較quantitative comparison questions
2. 單選題 multiple-choice questions----select one answer choice
3. 多選題 multiple-choice questions----select one or more answer choices
4. 數(shù)值輸入題 numeric entry questions
三、答題的注意事項
1. become familiar with the answer choices.
2. avoid unnecessary computations.
3. remember that geometric figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.
4. plug in numbers
5. simplify the comparison
6. use the fact that the answer is there.
7. examine the answer choices
8. for questions that require approximations, scan the answer choices to see how close an approximation is needed.
9. note whether you are asked to indicate a specific number of answer choice or all choices that apply.
10. in some questions that involve conditions that limit the possible values of numerical answer choices, it may be efficient to determine the least and/or the greatest possible value.
11. avoid lengthy calculations by recognizing and continuing numerical patterns.
12. make sure you answer the question that is asked.
13. if you are asked to round your answer, make sure you round to the required degree of accuracy.
14. examine your answer to see if it is reasonable with respect to the information given.
15. 填空題幾個注意：1要先點選輸入框 2刪除要用backspace 3負(fù)號就用那個連詞符號 4如果要改成正的，再次輸入連詞符號就變成正數(shù)了 5計算器上的transfer display可以直接把計算器里得出的結(jié)果轉(zhuǎn)到輸入框里面 6 2.5和2.50是一樣的 7 除非要求四舍五入，否則不要輸入近似值 8如果是分?jǐn)?shù)，一般分子和分母是兩個獨立的框 9分?jǐn)?shù)不必須約分
16. scan the data presentation briefly to see what it is about, but do not spend time studying all of the information in detail
17. bar graphs and circle graphs, as well as other graphical displays of data, are drawn to scale, so you can read or estimate data visually from such graphs.
18. the questions are to be answered only on the basis of the data presented, everyday facts (such as the number of days in a year), and your knowledge of mathematics.
19. MR表示 memory recall, M+ 表示memory sum, MC 表示 memory clear.
20. 當(dāng)?shù)谝淮伟碝+，屏幕上顯示的數(shù)字被紀(jì)錄在計算器的內(nèi)存里面，屏幕右邊出現(xiàn)M字母，表示內(nèi)存記憶被使用。以后每一次按M+按鍵，都會把當(dāng)前的屏幕上顯示的數(shù)字加到內(nèi)存的數(shù)字上，并以得到的和來取代原來內(nèi)存的記憶值。當(dāng)按MR按鍵的時候，內(nèi)存里面記憶的值被調(diào)出，就是最后的結(jié)果。如果要清空內(nèi)存，按MC按鍵，這個時候右邊的M標(biāo)志就消失了
四、需要知道的數(shù)學(xué)常識
1. 都是實數(shù)，沒有虛數(shù)
2. 10進(jìn)制，除非另外說明。
3. billion是10的9次方，dozen是12個，π是3.14近似
4. 23.5近似到各位是24, 123.985近似到百分位是123.99, -36.5近似到各位是-37
5. 循環(huán)小數(shù)的循環(huán)節(jié)上畫一個橫線。
6. factor因子，可正可負(fù)，因子一般都是整數(shù)，倍數(shù)不一定
7. 最小公倍數(shù)和最大公約數(shù)
8. 余數(shù)、被除數(shù)、除數(shù)、商的定義
9. 質(zhì)數(shù)的定義
10. 奇數(shù)偶數(shù)不一定是正數(shù)
11. 0既不是正的，也不是負(fù)的
12. 小于等于、大于等于、約等于、不等于、絕對值、平方根、階乘、平行、垂直等的符號需要知道
13. 沒有定義的情況：分母為0,根號下面為負(fù)數(shù)，0的0次方
14. 有時候，字母擺在一起不表示乘法，比如consider a three-digit integer denoted by XYZ, where X, Y, and Z are digits.
15. 如果一個函數(shù)的定義域沒有明說，那么就默認(rèn)是整個實數(shù)范圍，復(fù)合函數(shù)會考。
16. 只考?xì)W幾里德平面，三角形內(nèi)角和180
17. 直線沒有端點
18. 多邊形是凸的，閉合的
19. 解析幾何一般都是按照比例畫的
20. nonempty sets, empty set, intersection, union, disjoint sets or mutually exclusive sets
21. the integers from 0 to 9, inclusive。 包括了10個元素，而during the years from 1985 to 2005 不管說不說inclusive 都包括了21年
22. measures of central tendency, measures of position, measures of dispersion
23. 如果有偶數(shù)個數(shù)，那么median表示按照升序排列的這串?dāng)?shù)字的中間兩個數(shù)的算術(shù)平均
24. mode可以不只一個
25. quartile可以指那個點，也可以指一個區(qū)，比如the cow’s weight is in the third quartile of the weights of the herd 這個時候quartile 就是指一個區(qū)域group
26. 25th percentile = the first quartile; the 50th percentile equals the second quartile, or median; the 75th percentile equals the third quartile.
27. standard deviation of the data refers to the nonnegative square root of the mean of the squared differences between m and each of the data. also known as the population standard deviation and is not to be confused with the sample standard deviation. Sample standard deviation is divided by n-1 for technical reasons.
28. frequency distribution
29. relative frequency distributions
30. the mean of the random variable X is the sum of the products XP(X) for all values of X.
31. the mean of a random variable X is also called the expected value of X or the mean of the probability distribution of X
32. In any group of data, most of the data are within about 3 standard deviations above or below the mean.
33. The process of subtracting the mean from each value and then dividing the result by the standard deviation is called standardization. It's a useful tool because for each data value, it provides a measure of position relative to the rest of the data independently of the variable for which the data was collected and the units of the variable.
34. universal set
35. median 把曲線下面的面積平均分成兩塊面積相等的部分，mean要算上這塊面積的重量，所以og上那個圖的mean要在median的右邊，因為越往右，越重
36. 所以median是halving point, 而mean is the balance point
37. box-and-whisker plot 5個點L Q1 Q2 Q3 G 可以立刻看到median, interquartile range and range.
38. 正態(tài)分布：2%，14%，34%，34%，14%，2%
