Final Answer : False, Explanation :  In a histogram, regardless of whether the distribution is skewed to the left or right, the median divides the data such that approximately 50% of the total area of the histogram is to the left of the median and 50% is to the right. Skewness affects the shape and spread of the data, not the median's property of dividing the data into two equal parts by area.
