Answer:

Option A) represents a positively skewed data.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Positively skewed data:

  • A positively skewed or a right-skewed data is a type of data in which most values are clustered around the left tail that is most of the values are on the left side of the data and the right tail of the distribution is longer.
  • Right tail is longer since less values are present on the right side.
  • The positively skewed distribution is a direct opposite of the negatively skewed distribution.
  • Property: Mean > Median > Mode

Option A) shows a box whisker plot for a positively skewed data as most of the data is on the left side and a long tail can be observed on the left.

Option B), C), D) are not the representations for a positively skewed data.
