Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the shape of a histogram describes how data values are distributed across different intervals or bins.
Recognize that when most data is concentrated on the left side of the histogram and there is a long tail extending to the right, the distribution is not symmetric or uniform.
Recall that a distribution with a long tail on the right side is called right-skewed or positively skewed, meaning the bulk of the data is on the lower values with some larger values stretching out to the right.
Contrast this with left-skewed (negatively skewed) distributions, where the long tail extends to the left and most data is concentrated on the right.
Therefore, the histogram described is best characterized as right-skewed (positively skewed).
