Bimodal distribution

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-001220

A frequency distribution characterized by two distinct peaks or modes, indicating the presence of two different populations or processes within a dataset. This suggests that the data does not conform to a single, uniform distribution. An example is the distribution of particle sizes in a sample containing two different size fractions.
