It may be or may not be; however a normal distribution is unimodal.

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


Is uniform distribution unimodal?

A uniform distribution is not considered unimodal because it has a constant probability density across its range, meaning there are no peaks or modes. In a unimodal distribution, there is one clear peak where the values cluster, while in a uniform distribution, all values within the specified range are equally likely. Therefore, it lacks a single mode.


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


What is one indicator of normality?

One indicator of normality is when a data set follows a bell-shaped distribution, also known as a normal distribution. This can be visually represented by a symmetrical, unimodal curve where most of the data points cluster around the mean with decreasing frequency as they move away from the center.


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 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.
