数学是gmat考试中比较容易拿分的部分，考生们对数学得理解是要多多掌握数学公式和定理，并且熟练运用即可。GMAT数学中有不少的专用词汇，这是在其他考试部分见不着的。一些词汇如果掌握不到位就可能导致理解上出现偏差。下面是小编为大家整理收集的关于GMAT数学统计类词汇的相关内容，仅供大家参考。
1.平均数(average or arithmetic mean)
2.中数(median)
To calculate the median of n numbers，first order the numbers from least to greatest;if n is odd，the median is defined as the middle number，while if n is even，the median is defined as the average of the two middle numbers. For the data 6, 4, 7, 10, 4, the numbers, in order, are 4, 4, 6, 7, 10, and the median is 6, the middle number. For the numbers 4, 6, 6, 8, 9, 12, the median is (6+8 )/2 = 7. Note that the mean of these numbers is 7.5.
3.众数(mode)：一组数中的众数是指出现频率最高的数。
例：the mode of 7，9，6，7，2，1 is 7。
4.值域(range)：表明数的分布的量，其被定义为最大值减最小值的差。
例：the range of–1，7，27，27，36 is 36-(-1)= 37。
5.标准方差(standard deviation)：
One of the most common measures of dispersion is the standard deviation. Generally speaking, the greater the data are spread away from the mean, the greater the standard deviation. The standard deviation of n numbers can be calculated as follows:
(1)find the arithmetic mean ;
(2)find the differences between the mean and each of the n numbers ;
(3)square each of the differences ;
(4)find the average of the squared differences ;
(5)take the nonnegative square root of this average.
Notice that the standard deviation depends on every data value, although it depends most on values that are farthest from the mean. This is why a distribution with data grouped closely around the mean will have a smaller standard deviation than data spread far from the mean.
