Reference answer

The distribution of daily search queries per user is typically right-skewed. This means that while most users perform a small number of searches daily, a smaller group of power users performs a significantly larger number of searches, pulling the average higher than the median. The distribution would likely show a peak at a low number of queries, with a long tail extending towards higher query counts.
