Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An idealized bimodal distribution is characterized by two scores having the same and the highest frequency. This means that there are two distinct modes in the distribution, which are reflected in the bimodal shape. The distribution may or may not be symmetrical, and it is possible that the frequencies of other scores are not the same. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are not correct.
