Skewed Left or Right

When a distribution is skewed left the mean is less than the median
When a distribution is skewed right the mean will be more than the median.

Uniform Distribution

In a uniform distribution, the data values are spread out equally among the intervals.
The values are the same or close to the same.
The data is distributed evenly around the mean and the mean and the median are close to the same.

Bell or Symmetrical Distributions

Symmetrical distributions of data can also be called normal or bell shaped.
Since their distribution is fairly normal, the mean and the median will be close to the same.
