Hint: For the explanation of the question we need to have the knowledge of graphs. Representation of graphs has a power to reveal trends and 'points of interests' like maximum and minimum values. Our main focus will be to examine a particular phenomenon called Bimodal Distribution and Bimodal Graph.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The question ask us the explanation of the bimodal graph. Representation of Bimodal Distribution is referred as the Bimodal Graph. Now taking our discussion towards the Bimodal Distribution.
On understanding the “bi” in bimodal distribution refers to “two” and modal refers to the peaks. However, if you think about it, the peaks in any distribution are the most common number. In reality the two peaks in a bimodal distribution also represent two local maximums, these are the points where the data points stop to increase and start to decrease.
Basically data is distributed in statistics resulting in one-peak or several peaks. One peak distribution is visible in normal distribution or bell curve while in case of two peak distribution Bimodal distribution is considered. Below is the graph of the Bimodal Graph as it has two peaks A and B.

When looking at the graph seen here, the definition of bimodal distribution may become clear.

Note: Now a matter of fact that sometimes a graph which may appear bimodal to you is actually two unimodal, which means one- peaked distributions graphed on the same axis. Two peaks could also indicate your data is sinusoidal. Bimodal distributions are also a great reason for the data analysis.
