LOGINV


Description Computes the inverse of the cumulative lognormal distribution of x, where the logarithm of x is normally distributed.

Syntax LOGINV (prob, mean, st_dev)
Argument Description
prob The probability, as computed by the LOGNORMDIST function.
mean The arithmetic mean of the logarithm of x.
st_dev The standard deviation of the logarithm of x.

Remarks LOGINV assumes the logarithm of x is normally distributed, meaning that, if you graph the distribution with a logarithmic X axis, the bell-shaped curve will appear.

Equation

Example This function returns 16.0002:

LOGINV(0.223218,18,20)
