How would distributions with a high degree of confidence in the most likely value be characterized?

Distributions exhibiting a high degree of confidence in the most likely value are characterized as being peaked and narrow. This description indicates that the distribution is concentrated around a single, specific value, which signifies a high level of certainty about where the true value lies. A peaked distribution demonstrates that the likelihood of observing values significantly different from the most likely value (the peak) is low, thus reflecting high precision.

The term "narrow" further emphasizes that the range of possible values is limited, indicating that there is very little variability or uncertainty associated with the expected outcome. This contrasts sharply with distributions that are broader and flatter, which would imply a higher degree of uncertainty and less confidence in identifying a singular most likely value.
