Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a right-skewed distribution, the median (Q₂) is closer to Q₁ than to Q₃, indicating that the lower half of the data is more tightly packed than the upper half. Therefore, the distance from Q₃ to the largest value is likely to be greater than the distance from the smallest observation to Q₁.
