Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the scores are mostly low, a curve is said to be positively skewed. This is because the majority of the scores fall in the lower part of the distribution. With few high scores causing little or no tail on the left and then a longer tail on the left.

Detailed explanation-2: -When representing students’ scores on a graph, the scores often will be positively or negatively skewed. When the distribution is positively skewed, that implies that the most frequent scores (the mode) and the median are below the mean. If your test is very difficult, there may be many low scores and few high ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a positively skewed distribution, the mean is greater than the median as the data is more towards the lower side and the mean average of all the values.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is a Skewed Distribution? A skewed distribution occurs when one tail is longer than the other. Skewness defines the asymmetry of a distribution. Unlike the familiar normal distribution with its bell-shaped curve, these distributions are asymmetric.
