False.
It can be skewed to the left or right or be symmetrical.

What is a skewed distribution of test scores?
This simply means that if you plot a histogram of the scores it will be asymmetric.
How many observations to assume a Normal distribution?
32 if you sample is a random sample. Other methods look at the shape of the data and how skewed it is.
When is data negatively or positively skewed?
i) Since Mean<Median the distribution is negatively skewed ii) Since Mean>Median the distribution is positively skewed iii) Median>Mode the distribution is positively skewed iv) Median<Mode the distribution is negatively skewed
What does data skewed to the left in a histogram look like?

What are the advantages of using the histogram instead of the box plot to represent the data?
A histogram can handle data when the bars are not all of the same width. This is particularly important for data which are skewed.

When population distribution is right skewed is the sampling also with right skewed distribution?
If the population distribution is roughly normal, the sampling distribution should also show a roughly normal distribution regardless of whether it is a large or small sample size. If a population distribution shows skew (in this case skewed right), the Central Limit Theorem states that if the sample size is large enough, the sampling distribution should show little skew and should be roughly normal. However, if the sampling distribution is too small, the sampling distribution will likely also show skew and will not be normal. Although it is difficult to say for sure "how big must a sample size be to eliminate any population skew", the 15/40 rule gives a good idea of whether a sample size is big enough. If the population is skewed and you have fewer that 15 samples, you will likely also have a skewed sampling distribution. If the population is skewed and you have more that 40 samples, your sampling distribution will likely be roughly normal.
When a large number of samples are drawn from a negatively skewed population the distribution of the sample means?

When a population distribution is right skewed is the sampling distribution normal?
No, as you said it is right skewed.

Who invented skewed distribution?
Nobody invented skewed distributions! There are more distributions that are skewed than are symmetrical, and they were discovered as various distribution functions were discovered.
What is skewnes?
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
What are characteristics of the X2?
It is not negative. it is positively skewed, and it approaches a normal distribution as the degrees of freedom increase. Its shape is NEVER based on the sample size.
Is a normal distribution a skewed?
No.
Can a normal distribution curve be symmetric or left-skewed or right-skewed?
Symmetric
