having or involving two distinct modes, peaks, or most frequent values

to guess the value, number, quantity, size, etc. of something without exact calculation

the number of times a particular event occurs within a specific period or among a set of observations

(statistics) the way statistical data are arranged that shows the frequency in which the values of a variable are repeated

a measure of how much the values in a set typically differ from the average

the range within which the true value is expected to fall, accounting for potential inaccuracies in measurement or sampling

occurring in such a way that each possible outcome has a certain probability of occurring, but the specific outcome cannot be predicted with certainty

a straight line drawn through a set of data points on a graph to represent the general direction or pattern of the data

a type of statistical chart consisting of dots that represent individual data points

a mathematical representation that describes the relationship between two or more variables using a linear equation
