If the sum of squares of deviations from the mean is zero, then:
AMean is zero
BAll observations are zero
CAll observations are identical
DStandard deviation is 1
✓ Correct Answer: C — All observations are identical
If all observations are equal, each deviation (x - mean) is zero, so the sum of squares is zero.
