Answer:

B. distribution skewed to the right, mean pulled to the right, median not effected

Step-by-step explanation:

When a distribution is skewed to the right, it means that the data is positively skewed or has more positive numbers than negative numbers.

An outlier can affect the mean of a distribution since a high value outlier will make the mean be much higher than the median. In this case, since the distribution is positively skewed, a high outlier will pull the mean to the right (to higher positive values).
