Problem 38Multiple Choice

Consider a population consisting of the following values: $open brace 5 hours comma 8 hours comma 12 hours close brace$ . Suppose samples of size $2$ are randomly selected with replacement.
After calculating the mean absolute deviations (MADs) of the population and the samples, it is observed that the sample MADs do not center around the population MAD. What does this indicate about using the sample MAD as an estimator of the population MAD?

The sample MAD is always an unbiased estimator of the population MAD.

The sample MAD tends to be larger than the population MAD, making it an overestimate.

The sample MAD does not reliably estimate the population MAD because it is biased.

The sample MAD is always equal to the population MAD for any random sample.
