Question: Mean deviation will be minimum when the deviations are taken about:
Options:
A.M. (Arithmetic Mean)
G.M. (Geometric Mean)
Mode
Median
✅Explanation:
Mean deviation is the average of the absolute deviations of data points from a central value. This value is minimized when calculated around the median. The median is the middle value in a dataset when arranged in order, and it is less affected by extreme values than the mean.
