    Generating a skewed distribution curve with a known mean and maximum and minimum x values

    Can anyone tell me how to create a distribution graph with just three known values:

    Mean = 30.27
    Minimum = 0
    Maximum = 69.16

    Because the horizontal axis has minimum and maximum values, I know that it cannot be a normal distribution. And because the mean value is less than half the maximum, I know that it must be skewed towards the lower end. But how can I generate such a curve using just these three known values.

    My knowledge of statistics is fairly minimal, so all answers will need to be in fairly simple terms.

    Thank you
