The Standard Deviation

The standard deviation of the lognormal distribution, [math]\displaystyle{ {{\sigma }} }[/math] , is given by [18]:

[math]\displaystyle{ {{\sigma}}=\sqrt{\left( {{e}^{2{\mu }'+{\sigma'}^{2}}} \right)\left( {{e}^{\sigma'}^{2}}}-1 \right)} }[/math]


The standard deviation of the natural logarithms of the times-to-failure, [math]\displaystyle{ {{\sigma'} }[/math] , in terms of [math]\displaystyle{ \bar{T} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ {{\sigma} }[/math] is given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \{sigma'}=\sqrt{\ln \left( \frac{\sigma^{2}}{{{{\bar{T}}}^{2}}}+1 \right)} }[/math]
