Final Answer : False, Explanation :  In a right-skewed distribution, the mean is typically greater than the median, but the point estimate (often the sample mean) is not necessarily pushed to the right of the middle of the confidence interval. The confidence interval is centered around the point estimate, regardless of skewness.
