A colleague of mine - not a subscriber to this helpful list - asked me if
it is possible for the standard deviation
to be larger than the mean. If so, under what conditions?
At first blush I do not think so --------- but then I believe I have seen
some research results in which standard deviation was larger than the mean.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
cheers....ECD
