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.

In math, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of a probability distribution. A distribution is considered right-skewed if the tail on the right side is longer or fatter than the tail on the left side, and vice versa for left-skewed distributions. Skewness can give insight into the shape of a dataset and how it deviates from a symmetrical distribution like the normal distribution.
