A young Greek by the name of Zeno is riding his horse to his friends house which is two miles away. He travels half the distance
in one hour. But his horse gets tired, and only travels half the remaining distance the second hour, and, again, only half the remaining distance in the third hour. How many miles did Zeno travel in those three hours?
True, because the standard deviation describes how far, on average, each observation is from the typical value. A larger standard deviation means that observations are more distant from the typical value, and therefore, more dispersed.
