Solution:
The sum of the absolute values of deviations is least when taken from the median.
Explanation:
In statistics, the median is the middle value of a dataset when it is arranged in ascending or descending order. When you calculate the absolute deviations (i.e., the differences without regard to sign) from the median, the sum of these deviations is minimized compared to using any other value like the mean or mode.
