Consider a set of observations ${x_1}, {x_2}, {x_3}, ..., {x_{101}}$ such that ${x_1} < {x_2} < {x_3} < ... < {x_{100}} < {x_{101}}$. The mean deviation of this set of observations about a point $k$ is minimum when $k$ equals:

  • A
    ${x_1}$
  • B
    ${x_{51}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{101}}}{101}$
  • D
    ${x_{50}}$
