Does a normal probability distribution include a bimodal distribution?
No, the normal distribution is strictly unimodal.
What would be the implications if the mean mode and median were equivalent?
Your distribution is unimodal and symmetrical.
What does unimodal mean?
Please consider the probability density function graphs for the beta distribution, given in the link. For alpha=beta=2, the density is unimodal, which is to say, it has a single maximum. In contrast, for alpha=beta=0.5, the density is bimodal; it has two maxima.
Is normal distribution also a probability distribution?
Yes. When we refer to the normal distribution, we are referring to a probability distribution. When we specify the equation of a continuous distribution, such as the normal distribution, we refer to the equation as a probability density function.
Is normal distribution a discrete probability?
No. Normal distribution is a continuous probability.
Does a normal probability distribution include a bimodal distribution?
No, the normal distribution is strictly unimodal.
Are all unimodal distributions normal?
No. Normal distribution is a special case of distribution.
Does the standard normal distribution is unimodal?
Yes it is.
Are the mean median and the mode the same in a unimodal symmetrical distribution?
No they are not the same in a unimodal symmetrical distribution and they will never be
In a unimodal symmetrical distribution the mean is equal to?
The median and mode.
What would be the implications if the mean mode and median were equivalent?
Your distribution is unimodal and symmetrical.
In a perfectly symmetrical unimodal distribution is the mode and the median the same as the mean?
No, it is in general not true - for example for uniform distribution on [0,1] every number in the interval is a mode, but the mean is 1/2. The correct answer would be that a symmetric unimodal distribution has one mode equal to the mean (but may have modes elsewhere).
How would you describe the shape of a normal curve?
Bell-shaped, unimodal, symmetric
How come the mean is less than the median?
If the distribution is not symmetric, the mean will be different from the median. A negatively skewed distribution will have a mean hat is smaller than the median, provided it is unimodal.

What is unimodel?
Unimodal is having a normal disturbution. The mean, median, and mode are all a the center. When looking at a graph, there is one maximum.
What is the difference between a normal distribution and the standard normal distribution?
The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.
