Right skewed makes a bar graph table have a right tail, meaning the left-side of the data is higher than that of the left-side. The median does not change based on the size of the data but the mean does because the left-side of the data has grown, when you add them all together and divide by the number of data sets, it will be larger by a certain amount.
