    The answer to this question would be true.

    If the standard deviation is larger, the dispersion would be higher. Let say that both of the population having a mean age 50. Population A has standard deviation 10. Population B has larger standard deviation which was 20. That mean population A age distribution is about 40-60 (20 difference) but population B age distribution is 30-70 (40 difference). It is clear that population B distribution is more dispersed than A
