have you made a bar chart skewed to the left to help you visualize this? Skewed to the left means that as the values increase the frequencies increase as well, meaning that on the bar graph, the columns get taller as we look from left to right. When the data is skewed to the left, of the three measures of central tendency (mode, median and mean), the mode will be the greatest, the mean will be the least, and the median will be in between: mean < median < mode.
I trust you know what each of these terms mean and how to calculate them, if not... crack the books! Here's an example for you:
