Hi Malik, Thanks for reaching out! Please note that on these graphs: vertical axis (y-axis): shows the frequency of occurrence the horizontal axis (x-axis): shows the value at which we find the mean, median, and/or mode. With that in mind, you should compare the mean, median and mode on the x-axis. So, in the positive skewness graph, the mode is the lowest value and the mean is the highest value. Best, The 365 Team
