In a histogram, when the data are skewed left, what is the typical relationship between the mean and median?

Solution

If the histogram is skewed right, then the mean is greater than the median because skewed-right data have a few large values that drive the mean upward but do not affect where the exact middle of the data is (that is, the median).

If the histogram is skewed left, the mean is less than the median because skewed-left data have a few small values that drive the mean downward but do not affect where the exact middle of the data is (that is, the median)
