The database commonly uses an index range scan to access selective data. The selectivity is the percentage of rows in the table that the query selects, with 0 meaning no rows and 1 meaning all rows. Selectivity is tied to a query predicate, such as WHERE last_name LIKE 'A%', or a combination of predicates.
Types of Distribution: Intensive, Selective and Exclusive Distribution. Some of the important types of distribution in international market are 1. Intensive 2. Selective and 3. Exclusive distribution.
Descriptions of shape [edit]. The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include: mounded (or unimodal), U-shaped, J-shaped, reverse-J shaped and multi-modal. A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one.
