-
Multimodal Distribution
-
A distribution where there are many values or bins that contain more data than other nearby bins, usually separated by gaps.
-
Skewed Distribution
-
A distribution where the majority of values are on one side of the distribution, and there are only a few values on the other.
-
Skewed Left (Negatively Skewed) Distribution
-
A distribution where the majority of values are high, and there only a few low values that form a "tail" to the left of the median.
-
Skewed Right (Positively Skewed) Distributions
-
A distribution where the majority of values are low, and there only a few high values that form a "tail" to the right of the median.
-
Symmetric Distribution
-
A distribution where the mean and median are the same. It will appear to have a "mirror line" at the median of the distribution.
-
Uniform Distribution
-
A distribution where all values are equally likely.
-
Unimodal/Single-Peaked Distribution
-
A distribution where one value or bin contains more data than the other values or bins.
