In a negatively skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution is longer on the left side, indicating that there are more data points on the lower end of the distribution. Therefore, the smallest observation will be further away from the mode than the largest observation. This means that the distance from the smallest observation to Q₁ is larger than the distance from Q₃ to the largest observation.
