Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a bimodal distribution, there are two values with about the same (the highest) frequencies. The mode, which is the most common value, will have two peaks. The mean and median can vary depending on the size and placement of the modes, but it is not necessarily true that they will be equal or that the mean will be twice as large as the median. It is also not necessarily true that one mode will be twice as large as any other value.
