What is a histogram?

It is defined as the depiction of numerical data in a graph using a bar with no space. The histogram depicts the approximate distribution of the data.

We know on the left side skewed histogram has more data on the right and on the left side, there are fewer data. It is also called a negatively skewed histogram.

On the right side skewed histogram, there is fewer data on the right side and more data on the left side. It is also called a positive histogram.

Thus, statement (B) The mean lies to the left of the median for a positively skewed distribution because there will be fewer data on the right side is correct.
