# 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 $(x>0)$.
• M is a parameter of the distribution $M$.
• S is a parameter of the distribution $S\;(>0)$.
• 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.
