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 _{{{T}'}}^{2}}} \right)\left( {{e}^{\sigma _{{{T}'}}^{2}}}-1 \right)} }[/math]

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

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