Answer:

The histogram is right-skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The income of all households in the United States can be categorized as low, medium and high.

Not many people earn a high income. So the proportions of people decreases as the income increases.

Most of the people earn a medium income. So the mode of the data would be somewhere in the start of the the distribution.

There are many households that earn a low income. But this proportion is not more than the proportion of people earning low income.

So the histogram for income distribution will have a long right tail with maximum data at the starting point.

This implies that the histogram is right-skewed.
