NTLOGNORMDIST

Returns the log normal distribution for the specified parameters.

Syntax​

NTLOGNORMDIST(
    x,
    M,
    S,
    Cumulative
)

Parameters​

  • x is the value for which you want the distribution (x>0)(x>0).
  • M is a parameter of the distribution MM.
  • S is a parameter of the distribution S(>0)S(>0).
  • Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, NTLOGNORMDIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function.
