Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the distribution shape

The histogram is skewed right. In a right - skewed distribution, extreme high values pull the mean towards them.

Step2: Recall mean - median relationship in skewed data

In a right - skewed distribution, the mean is greater than the median because the high - value outliers affect the mean more than the median.

The mean is greater than the median.
