A distribution with negative skew can have its mean greater than or less than the median, and likewise for positive skew [1] in addition to the box on a box plot, there can be lines (which are called whiskers) extending from the box indicating variability outside the upper and lower quartiles.

In the older notion of nonparametric skew, defined as where is the mean, is the median, and is.
In statistics and probability theory, the nonparametric skew is a statistic occasionally used with random variables that take real values
[1][2] it is a measure of the skewness of a random variable's distribution —that is, the distribution's tendency to lean to one side or the other of the mean. That is, its density is asymptotically proportional to for some positive. Since , the probability left of the mode, and therefore right of the mode as well, can equal any value in (0,1) depending on the value of Thus the skewed generalized t distribution can be highly skewed as well as symmetric
If , then the distribution is negatively skewed If , then the distribution is positively skewed. A similar effect can be achieved by taking the square root of the data To fit a symmetrical distribution to data obeying a negatively skewed distribution (i.e
Skewed to the left, with mean < mode, and with a right hand tail this is shorter than the left hand tail) one could use the squared values of the data to accomplish the fit.
Box plot of data from the michelson experiment in descriptive statistics, a box plot or boxplot is a method for demonstrating graphically the locality, spread and skewness groups of numerical data through their quartiles
