In a normally shaped distribution, the mean, mode, and median will all be in the same location because the distribution is symmetrical. In a positively or negatively skewed distribution, the mean will be shifted towards the tail of the distribution, away from the mode and median. In a bimodal distribution, there will be two peaks and therefore two modes, so the mean and median may be between them.
