• Bell-shaped distribution

• Uniform distribution
• Exponential distribution
• Skewed distribution

A distribution with two very common data values seen in a dot plot or histogram as distinct peaks.

• Multimodal distribution
• Bimodal distribution
• Unimodal distribution
• Normal distribution

A distribution where one side of the distribution has more values farther from the bulk of the data than the other side

• Normal distribution
• Skewed distribution
• Uniform distribution
• Bimodal distribution

A distribution with a vertical line of symmetry in the center of the graphical representation

• Bimodal distribution
• Symmetric distribution
• Exponential distribution
• Uniform distribution

A distribution which has the data values evenly distributed throughout the range of the data.

• Normal distribution
• Exponential distribution
• Binomial distribution
• Uniform distribution

A measure of the variability, or spread, of a distribution, calculated by a method similar to the method for calculating the MAD (mean absolute deviation)
