Step1: Understand the concept of skewed distribution
In a skewed - right distribution, the tail is on the right side. The mean is affected by extreme values (in a skewed - right distribution, the few large values in the right tail pull the mean towards the right). The median is less affected by extreme values.
Step2: Recall the properties of mean and median
When the data is skewed (either to the left or right), the median is a better measure of the "center" of the data set than the mean.
