Normal distribution shapes: symmetric or skewed

问题:

I'm having hard time differentiating between shapes: Symmetric & Skewed There are some clear graphs. You don't need to think twice But here for example:

The histogram makes me really confused Is it a right skewed? is it symmetric?

Totally lost. :(

I have tried many ways to get the right answers:

  • comparing between mean=26.75 and median=25.5 values

  • calculating the following distances:

    • From min to the median is (less/equal or greater) than the one from
      median to the max.

    • From the min value to Q1 is (less/equal or greater) than the one from Q3 to the max.

    • From Q1 to the median is (less/equal or greater) than the one from the median to Q3.

It does not lead me to any conclusion.

Right skewed: Everything follows the right skewed rules except c)

Symmetric: Looking at the graph, it seems symmetric, but depending on the calculation it is not.

Help please. Thank you in advance.
