Answer 1

I can’t see the image — could you either upload it here or paste the image description?

If you prefer to decide now, here are quick rules to pick the best term:
- Normal distribution: symmetric, peak in the middle, tails about equal on both sides.
- Right‑skewed (positive skew): long tail to the right; bulk of the data is on the left. (Mean > median > mode.)
- Left‑skewed (negative skew): long tail to the left; bulk of the data is on the right. (Mean < median < mode.)
- “Skewed (negative and positive)” would mean a distribution with irregular tails or multiple modes showing both left and right skew in parts — uncommon as a best single label.
