Answer:

If Carlos finds that the majority of worms have small sizes of 4 cm and lengths of 8 cm, it can be said that the length has a distribution of two peaks. Drawing a histogram will result in a bimodal histogram, that is, with two peaks, where the valley corresponds to the lowest frequency. This data corresponds to a distribution of two normal distributions.
