A right or positive skew means the data in the histogram will tail out to the right. See the related link figure 15.6 and it shows a right skew.

How is a box plot and a histogram alike?

Both plots are ways of visualizing data. Both are used in statistical analyses. But I would say they are not very alike. Histograms show the relative or absolute frequency of data in specified (usually equal) intervals. The range of values in a single data set can be seen on a histogram. A box shows how the median and range of various datasets vary over time (or some other variable).

What is the difference between a bar graph and a histogram?

What is the difference between a bar graph and a histogram?There are two differences, one is in the type of data that is presented and the other in the way they are drawn.In bar graphs are usually used to display "categorical data", that is data that fits into categories. For example suppose that I offered to buy donuts for six people and three said they wanted chocolate covered, 2 said plain and one said with icing sugar. I would present this in a bar garph as:Histograms on the other hand are usually used to present "continuous data", that is data that represents measured quantity where, at least in theory, the numbers can take on any value in a certain range. A good example is weight. If you measure the weights of a group of adults you might get and numbers between say 90 pounds and 240 pounds. We usually report our weights as pounds or to the nearest half pound but we might do so to the nearest tenth of a pound or however acurate the scale is. The data would then be collected into categories to present a histogram. For example:might be a histogram for heights (with the appropriate scale on the vertical axis). Here the data has been collected into categories of width 30 pounds.The difference in the way that bar graphs and histograms are drawn is that the bars in bar graphs are usually separated where in histograms the bars are adjacent to each other. This is not always true however. Sometimes you see bar graphs with no spaces between the bars but histograms are never drawn with spaces between the bars.

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.
