How to use this tool

  1. Enter mean of ln(x), standard deviation of ln(x), value x.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

For x>0, z=[ln(x)−mu]/sigma and CDF=Φ(z); CDF=0 for x≤0.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using mean of ln(x) = 0, standard deviation of ln(x) = 1, value x = 1, the result is 0.5. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

Understanding your result

Parameters describe ln(X), not X itself. Uses natural logarithms; main result is P(X≤x).

What to keep in mind

Parameters describe ln(X), not X itself. Uses natural logarithms; main result is P(X≤x). A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
