Where are most of the data located? Where does the tail extend?

Skewed right.

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given data.

Calories	Frequency
1-100	2
101-200	8
201-300	10
301-400	5
401-500	3

Let's represent this data in a histogram.

We want to describe the shape of this distribution. Notice that most of the data are on the left and the tail extends to the right.

This means that the distribution is skewed right.
