Can bimodal distribution be skewed?
Bimodal: A bimodal shape, shown below, has two peaks. This shape may show that the data has come from two different systems. If this shape occurs, the two sources should be separated and analyzed separately. A skewed distribution can result when data is gathered from a system with has a boundary such as zero.
Will the mean and median in a symmetric distribution always be approximately equal?
Wikipedia says in relationship between mean and median: “If the distribution is symmetric then the mean is equal to the median and the distribution will have zero skewness. If, in addition, the distribution is unimodal, then the mean = median = mode.
Which is the best method for discrete distribution?
For distributions not in base R or an accompanying package, you will have to use other methods such as rejection or importance sampling. Apart from Bayesian methods, probability distribution functions are useful for simulation studies, especially when exploring asymptotic properties of statistics.

Which is the normal distribution in base R?
The normal distribution, for instance, has dnorm (), pnorm (), qnorm (), and rnorm (). For distributions not in base R or an accompanying package, you will have to use other methods such as rejection or importance sampling.
