Question: Mean deviation will be minimum when the deviations are taken about:
Options:
A.M. (Arithmetic Mean)
G.M. (Geometric Mean)
Mode
Median
✅Explanation:
The mean deviation (also called the average absolute deviation) is the average of the absolute differences between each observation in a dataset and a chosen central value. The measure of central tendency that minimizes the mean deviation is the median.
