Right-Skewed Histogram Example (Positive Skew)

This distribution places most order-processing times near the lower end while a smaller number of slower orders extend the tail to the right. That shape is commonly called a right-skewed or positively skewed histogram.

How to structure the data

01Use raw numeric observations rather than pre-counted category totals.
02Keep enough bins to reveal the long upper tail without splitting the dense lower cluster into noise.
03Compare the shape at more than one bin count before concluding that the distribution is strongly skewed.

What this example shows

See a positive-skew distribution with most observations near the lower end and a long right tail.

Right skewed vs positively skewed

Right-skewed and positively skewed describe the same tail direction: the distribution extends farther toward larger numeric values.
