If the long tail is to the right, the distribution of the data is said to be: a. a symmetric distribution b. a negatively skewed distribution c. a positively skewed distribution d. none of the choices are correct

Negatively skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a negatively skewed distribution, the mode is greater then the median, and the median is greater then the mean. Overall, the majority of the data is to the right, which means that the distribution of data is skewed to the left, or negatively skewed.

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that if one tail is longer than the other, the distribution is said to be skewed.

And there are two types of skewed  distribution :

1) Negatively skewed

2) Positively skewed

It depends on the direction of the long tail.

If the long tail is to the right , then it is said to be positively skewed distribution.

If the long tail is to the left , then it is said to be negatively skewed distribution.

According to question, the distribution  here is a positively skewed distribution.

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.
