MCQ
The mean deviation from the median is:
  • A
    Equal to that measured from another value.
  • B
    Maximum if all observations are positive.
  • C
    Greater than that measured from any other value.
  • Less than that measured from any other value.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Less than that measured from any other value.
In a frequency distribution, the sum of absolute values of deviations from the mean and mode is always more than the sum of the deviations from the median.
