Answer:

Skewed to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Median = 3304[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 3204.9[/tex]

Required

The type of distribution

From the given data, we have:

[tex]Median \ne Mean[/tex] --- Mean and Median are not equal

and

[tex]Median > Mean[/tex] --- Median is greater than mean

When the median is greater than the mean; the histogram is expected to be left skewed
