Expert Solution
Step 1

A continuous probability distribution called a normal distribution is symmetric around the mean and shows that data that is close to the mean happens more frequently than data that is far from the mean.

A uniform distribution is a continuous probability distribution that is evenly or uniformly distributed and has a density curve in the shape of a rectangle.

Bimodal distributions are those in which the probabilities are are distributed with two distinct peaks or two values with the greatest frequencies.

The mean, median, and mode, all occur at various positions rather than in the distribution's center in a continuous probability distribution known as a skewed distribution. Left skewed (negative skew) and right skewed (positive skew) are two types of skewed distribution.
