Skewness is a measure of symmetry, or more precisely, the lack of symmetry. A distribution, or data set, is symmetric if it looks the same to the left and right of the center point.The Shape of a HistogramA histogram is unimodal if there is one hump, bimodal if there are two humps and multimodal if there are many humps. A nonsymmetric histogram is called skewed if it is not symmetric. If the upper tail is longer than the lower tail then it is positively skewed. If the upper tail is shorter than it is negatively skewed.Unimodal, Symmetric, NonskewedNonsymmetric, Skewed RightBimodal

An even function is symmetric about the y-axis. The graph to the left of the y-axis can be reflected onto the graph to the right. An odd function is anti-symmetric about the origin. The graph to the left of the y-axis must be reflected in the y-axis as well as in the x-axis (either one can be done first).
A normal distribution is not skewed. Skewness is a measure of how the distribution has been pulled away from the normal.A feature of a distribution is the extent to which it is symmetric.A perfectly normal curve is symmetric - both sides of the distribution would exactly correspond if the figure was folded across its median point.It is said to be skewed if the distribution is lop-sided.The word, skew, comes from derivations associated with avoiding, running away, turning away from the norm.So skewed to the right, or positively skewed, can be thought of as grabbing the positive end of the bell curve and dragging it to the right, or positive, direction to give it a long tail in the positive direction, with most of the data still concentrated on the left.Then skewed to the left, or negatively skewed, can be thought of as grabbing the negative end of the bell curve and dragging it to the left, or negative, direction to give it a long tail in the negative direction, with most of the data still bunched together on the right.Warning: A number of textbooks are not correct in their use of the term 'skew' in relation to skewed distributions, especially when describing 'skewed to the right' or 'skewed to the left'.
its true I got it right on the test
This is true
Symmetric
A positively skewed or right skewed distribution means that the mean of the data falls to the right of the median. Picturewise, most of the frequency would occur to the left of the graph.

Skews are used on a graph. If the points or lines go to one side then they are skewed to the right or left. For example, If your lines or plots start low and go up right to the right, then it is skewed to the right (same as the left). Now, if the plots are everywhere then there is no skew.
An even function is symmetric about the y-axis. The graph to the left of the y-axis can be reflected onto the graph to the right. An odd function is anti-symmetric about the origin. The graph to the left of the y-axis must be reflected in the y-axis as well as in the x-axis (either one can be done first).
No, as you said it is right skewed.
When the data are skewed to the right the measure of skewness will be positive.
When a distribution is skewed to the right, the mean is greater than median.
A distribution or set of observations is said to be skewed right or positively skewed if it has a longer "tail" of numbers on the right. The mass of the distribution is more towards the left of the figure rather than the middle.
