Multimodal Distribution

A multimodal distribution is a way to describe data that has multiple common or "peak" points, called modes. Imagine a graph showing how often different results occur; if there are several peaks, it indicates that the data tends to cluster around multiple different values rather than just one. This pattern suggests that there are several typical groups or behaviors within the data set. Multimodal distributions are useful for understanding complex data where different subgroups exist, such as preferences, sizes, or outcomes that naturally group around different points.
