Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

Right skewed distribution : A Right skewed distribution is also known as positively skewed distribution.  Here most of the data fall right side or positive side.

                         i.e., Mean > median > mode

Left skewed distribution : A Left skewed distribution is also known as negatively skewed distribution.  Here most of the data fall left side or negative side.

                         i.e., Mean < median < mode

Normally skewed distribution: if the data is distributed equally to both sides then it is skewed normally 

                                   i.e., Mean = Median =Mode
