Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In normal distributions, the mean and the mode are both located at the center of the distribution, where it is most densely populated. In flat distributions, there is no peak, and the mean and mode are not well-defined. Skewed distributions have longer tails on one side, which can cause the mean to be shifted away from the mode. Bimodal distributions have two distinct peaks, which means there are two possible modes, and the mean may fall between them.
