Answer: False.

Explanation:

  • The zero-sum property of the difference between the data values and the mean says that the sum of the difference between each value of a variable
    a_i and the mean value A is equal to zero.

Hence, the given statement "The sum of the differences is never zero for any distribution consisting of n observations." is a false statement.
