Concepts

A histogram has its tallest bars on the left and a long tail trailing
off toward the high values on the right. How is this distribution
described?

Left-skewed, because most of the data sits on the left.

Right-skewed, because skew is named for the direction of the tail.

Symmetric, because it has one clear peak.

Left-skewed, because the tail points away from the peak.
