You can put this solution on YOUR website! Consider a distribution of the weights of cars in the new car lot at a car dealership in which about half the inventory consists of compact cars and the other half consists of sport utility vehicles.
How many modes would you expect for the distribution?
2 modes:one for compact cars and one for SUV's
--------------------------------------------------------
Would you expect the distribution to be symmetric,
left-skewed, or right-skewed?
---
right skewed if there are some very heavy SUV's
left skewed if thre are some very light compact cars
symmetric if you have about the same number of very heavy and very light
---
I think the answer is 2 modes; symmetric
