The mean deviation from the median is
Agreater than that measured from any other value
Bless than that measured from any other value
Cequal to that measured from any other value
Dmaximum if all observations are positive
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. less than that measured from any other value
Mean deviation is minimum when taken about the median. Therefore the mean deviation from the median is less than that measured from any other value. On checking the options, this matches option $\text{(B)}$.
