An test reveals that the scores are bimodal, based on the definition from our book on page 106 which example below would this most likely occur in?
a)Grades on an open book test
b)Number of hours a student needs to graduate s to graduate
c(A restaurant's peak hours
d)Height of students in a course
Answer:
A bimodal distribution is a set of data that has two peaks which indicated that we have got two different groups.
In this question this would most likely occur in Option (C) i.e. A restaurant's peak hours.
Reason : In restaurants generally peak hours are during lunch time and dinner time and if we plot a histogram of when every customer entered a restaurant on a given particular day then we will end up with a bimodal distribution around these two points i.e. lunch and dinner.
Therefore Option (C) is best fitted for bimodal distribution among all the options.
