| david22 | Just because the parameters of the lognormal are not its mean and variance does not mean that they do not define the distribution. |
| bobert | That is like saying, just because two random people aren't your parents does not mean they didn't give birth to you.... It is impossible to be the biological child of people who are not your biological parents. |
| ascruggs92 | Except for that the parameters of a Lognormal are its mean and variance. |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
