Question

distribution patterns
several basic distribution patterns should be looked for when selecting a bin size, because some situations are known to follow a certain
distribution. the standard bell curve is a unimodal distribution pattern. a unimodal distribution occurs when one mode exists in the
histogram. ex: in histogram-5 above, the 10 – 15 mph bin has the highest frequency of all bins, and thus, is the single mode.
other common distribution patterns are listed below.

• bimodal: contains two prevalent modes
• multimodal: contains multiple prevalent modes
• skewed left: contains a mode on the right with a tail of low - frequency bins on the left
• skewed right: contains a mode on the left with a tail of low - frequency bins on the right
