In left-skewed distributions, the bulk of the data is concentrated on the right side, meaning there is a longer tail on the left. This implies that the distance from the smallest observation (which is at the far left end of the distribution) to the first quartile (Q1) is larger than the distance from the third quartile (Q3) to the largest observation (which is closer to the bulk of the data).
