- If is a normal distribution, then
- If is distributed log-normally, then is a normal random variable.
- If are n independent log-normally distributed variables, and, then Y is also distributed log-normally:
- Let be independent log-normally distributed variables with possibly varying σ and μ parameters, and . The distribution of Y has no closed-form expression, but can be reasonably approximated by another log-normal distribution Z at the right tail. Its probability density function at the neighborhood of 0 has been characterized and it does not resemble any log-normal distribution. A commonly used approximation (due to Fenton and Wilkinson) is obtained by matching the mean and variance:
In the case that all have the same variance parameter, these formulas simplify to
- If, then X + c is said to have a shifted log-normal distribution with support x ∈ (c, +∞). E = E + c, Var = Var.

“So-called “austerity,” the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. “Pull in your belt” is a slogan closely related to “gird up your loins,” or the guns-butter metaphor.”
