How is a Boxplot skewed if the median is in the right side of the box but the right line is longer then the left line?

In: Math and Arithmetic, Statistics, Mathematical Analysis [Edit categories]

Answer:

The median is Q2, if it is on the right side of the box, then then it is close to Q3 than it is to Q1. If the right line ( whisker) is longer than the left, it mean the biggest outlier is farther from Q3 than the smallest outlier is from Q1. All of this means the population from which the data was sampled was skewed to the right.
