Statement 1 : For the set of observations x1, x2, x3,. x101; it is being given that x1<x2<x3<.<x100<x101

Statement 2 : This would implies that the standard mean deviation about an arbitrary point k is minimum when k=x51. This is because Mean deviation is minimum when it is considered about the median.
