Bimodal distribution

probability distribution whose density has two or more distinct local maxima

A bimodal distribution is when there are two very common data values found in a graph such as a dot graph or bar graph.[1][2] A bimodal distribution also sometimes has all of the data clustered in the middle or is not symmetrical.[1]
