The Standard Deviation

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

[math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma}_{T} =\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}_{T}^{2}}{{{{\bar{T}}}^{2}}}+1 \right)} }[/math]
