What type of distribution is represented by the scores: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the type of distribution based on the given set of scores. We need to analyze the frequency of the scores to determine if it is bimodal, uniform, unimodal, or multimodal.
Answer
Multimodal distribution
The distribution is multimodal.
Answer for screen readers
The distribution is multimodal.
More Information
A multimodal distribution is one that has multiple modes or peaks. In the given dataset: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 appear more than once, with 5 appearing most frequently.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume that a distribution must be unimodal or symmetric. It is important to identify all modes by counting the frequency of each value.
