Solution

The mean will likely be larger than the median. This is because in a positively skewed distribution, the tail on the right side is longer or fatter. The mean is influenced by the values of the outliers in the tail, and thus it gets pulled in the direction of the tail. Therefore, the mean is greater than the median in a positively skewed distribution.
