Answer:

The distribution positively skewed

Explanation:

We have the mean of a distribution to be 276, while the median is 231.

When compare the mean and median,

we gave

276>231

Since the mean is greater than the median, the distribution is skewed to the right.

In other words, the the distribution is positively skewed.
