Left-Skewed Histogram Example (Negative Skew)

This score distribution is concentrated near the high end while a smaller set of lower scores stretches the tail to the left. The same shape is often described as a left-skewed or negatively skewed histogram.

How to structure the data

01Use one raw numeric column and preserve the original measurements.
02Choose bins wide enough that the dense high-value region remains readable.
03Check several bin counts because a sparse lower tail can look different when boundaries move.

What this example shows

See a negative-skew distribution concentrated near higher values with a longer tail on the left.

Left skewed vs negatively skewed

Left-skewed and negatively skewed describe the same tail direction: the distribution extends farther toward smaller numeric values.
