But the mean is bigger than the median

#

So i don't think it's skewed to the left

yes

#

you can see there's a large data point skewing it to the right

#

the mean is skewed by extreme values

#

while the median is not

#

so it wouldn't be skewed

#

But the median would be better in this case

#

it's the explanation that is wrong
