The 5 numbers in the summary are equally spread apart.

The median is exactly in the middle of the box.

The whiskers are the same length.

The right whisker is much longer than the left whisker.

5-number summary: Min = 15, Q1 = 16, Median = 18, Q3 = 19, Max = 29.

Reason the data is skewed: The right whisker is much longer than the left whisker (the max 29 is far above Q3 while the min is close to Q1), indicating right (positive) skew.
