What does bimodal mean?
It means it has two modes.
If there are 2 modes how do you find the right one?
Oh, dude, finding the right mode is like finding the right flavor of ice cream - you just gotta taste test them both! To find the mode in a set of data with 2 modes, you simply identify the values that appear most frequently. It's not rocket science, but hey, it's statistics - close enough, right?
What do you mean by mode and what is the formula of mode?
The mode is the data value that occurs the most number of times. If there are two data values that occur the most, then you will have 2 modes and it is called bimodal. Three or more is called multimodal. For example, if you have a set of numbers - 1, 4, 3, 2, 6, 4, 8, 4, 7, 3, 5. The mode is 4 as it occurs the most number of times.
Why the median of a set of data does not have to be one of the numbers in the set of data?
Because, if there is an even number of results in the set of data, the mean must be calculated by finding the half-way point between the two central numbers.
How can you get the mode of a grouped data if there are two classes that both have the highest frequency?
Well, honey, if you've got two classes strutting their stuff with the same high frequency in your grouped data, then guess what? You've got yourself a bimodal distribution, sweetie! That means you've got not one, but two modes to deal with - so just go ahead and flaunt those two modes proudly, darling.
