Plotting this kind of graph in TikZ

I want to plot a graph that looks like this:

The graph needs to look like two bell curves. There's no specific functions or anything for it.

Here's what I have.

begintikzpicture
 draw[very thin,color=lightgray,step=0.5cm] (0,0) grid (6.1,3.6);
 draw[->] (0,0) -- (6.2,0) node[anchor=north] $t$;
 draw[->] (0,0) -- (0,3.7) node[anchor=east] $v$;
 draw
 (0,0) node[anchor=north] 0
 (1,0) node[anchor=north] 10
 (2,0) node[anchor=north] 20
 (3,0) node[anchor=north] 30
 (4,0) node[anchor=north] 40
 (5,0) node[anchor=north] 50
 (0,1) node[anchor=east] 5
 (0,2) node[anchor=east] 10
 (0,3) node[anchor=east] 15;
 draw[thick,color=blue] (0,0) to [out=0,in=180] (1,3);
 draw[thick,color=blue] (1,3) to [out=0,in=180] (2,0);
 draw[thick,color=blue] (2,0) to (4,0);
 draw[thick,color=blue] (4,0) to [out=0,in=180] (5,3);
 draw[thick,color=blue] (5,3) to [out=0,in=180] (6,0);
endtikzpicture

As you can see it doesn't really look like bell curves.

I'm very new to TikZ and this is the only way I know how to plot. Please help!

Do you have more details, such as the value of v when t is 2,4,6,8 or 12,14,16,18... It will be easier to draw with those value

Welcome to TeX.SE! You can plot arbitrary functions. Note that you'd probably make your life more comfortable by drawing this with pgfplots.

documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]standalone
begindocument
begintikzpicture[declare function=Gaussian(x,y,z)=exp(-z*(x-y)*(x-y));]
 draw[very thin,color=lightgray,step=0.5cm] (0,0) grid (6.1,3.6);
 draw[->] (0,0) -- (6.2,0) node[anchor=north] $t$;
 draw[->] (0,0) -- (0,3.7) node[anchor=east] $v$;
 draw
 (0,0) node[anchor=north] 0
 (1,0) node[anchor=north] 10
 (2,0) node[anchor=north] 20
 (3,0) node[anchor=north] 30
 (4,0) node[anchor=north] 40
 (5,0) node[anchor=north] 50
 (0,1) node[anchor=east] 5
 (0,2) node[anchor=east] 10
 (0,3) node[anchor=east] 15;
 draw[thick,color=blue] plot[domain=0:2,variable=x,samples=101]
 (x,3*Gaussian(x,1,5)); 
 draw[thick,color=blue] plot[domain=4:6,variable=x,samples=101]
 (x,3*Gaussian(x,5,5)); 
endtikzpicture
enddocument

enter image description here

Just for fun: a quick pgfplots variant.

documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]standalone
usepackagepgfplots
pgfplotssetcompat=1.16

begintikzpicture[declare function=Gaussian(x,y,z)=exp(-z*(x-y)*(x-y));]
beginaxis[axis lines=left,grid=major,xmin=0,xmax=72,ymin=0,ymax=22,

 addplot[domain=0:20,thick,blue,samples=101] 15*Gaussian(x,10,0.1);
 addplot[domain=40:60,thick,blue,samples=101] 15*Gaussian(x,50,0.1);

Ahh. Thanks. I love the pgfplots variant. May I know when I should use tikz and when I should use pgfplots? Is there any resources where I can look up examples for both tikz and pgfplots?

@StevenSun There is no rule when to use what. However, I'd like to argue that, if one starts to add multiple ticks by hand, it is time to gauge whether one is better off with pgfplots. Both the pgfmanual and the pgfplots manual are very nicely written. Additional examples can be found on this site and on TeXample as well as pgfplots.

@StevenSun In your example, you have draw (0,0) node[anchor=north] 0 ...., the analogous lines are not there in the pgfplots variant.

Ahh. Thanks. I love the pgfplots variant. May I know when I should use tikz and when I should use pgfplots? Is there any resources where I can look up examples for both tikz and pgfplots?

@StevenSun There is no rule when to use what. However, I'd like to argue that, if one starts to add multiple ticks by hand, it is time to gauge whether one is better off with pgfplots. Both the pgfmanual and the pgfplots manual are very nicely written. Additional examples can be found on this site and on TeXample as well as pgfplots.

@StevenSun In your example, you have draw (0,0) node[anchor=north] 0 ...., the analogous lines are not there in the pgfplots variant.
