Answer:

The distribution of data set A would generally be to the right of the distribution of data set B because the smaller mean tends to distribute to the right smaller data smaller mean. I hope this is helpful.

The statement reflects how Data Set A enjoying a smaller mean would have less numbers that would be smaller elements and when compared with Set B, Set B would have a larger distribution of large numbers and hence the larger mean.
