I have a question about the definition of the median of a (continuous) random vector $X\equiv (X_1,..., X_r)$. As suggested here and by other discussions in this forum (e.g., here and here) there are various definitions of median for the multivariate case.

Suppose that $$ (A) \quad \Pr(X_1\geq 0,..., X_r\geq 0)=\Pr(X_1\leq 0,..., X_r\leq 0)=0.2 $$

Is there any uncontroversial relation between (A) and the notion of "median equal to zero", independently of the definition of multivariate median one could use?

    There is no reason to believe (A) implies the "marginal median" is $0$ and similarly with the other multivariate medians. – Henry Nov 10 '21 at 10:08
