A random variable X is said to follow a lognormal distribution if Y = log(X) follows a %3D normal distribution. The lognormal is sometimes used as a model for heavy-tailed skewed distributions. a) Calculate the density function of the lognormal distribution. b) Examine whether the lognormal roughly fits the following data (Robson 1929), which are the dorsal lengths in millimeters of taxonomically distinct octopods. (Using R) data <- c(110,15,60,54,19,115,73,190,57,43,44,18,37,43,55,19,23,82,175,50,80,65,63, 36,16,10,17,52,43,70,22,95,20,41,17,15,12,11,29,29,61,22,40,17,26,30,16,

I got an answer from an expert to the following question: Let X and Y be independent random variables with standard normal distribution. Calculate the distribution and density functions of X/Y. Instructions: use the distribution of arg(X,Y). He claims that the distribution of X/Y should be normal with mean 0 and variance 1, but the ratio of two independent normal distributions should give a Cauchy distribution. Or am I wrong?
Which are the properties of the standard normal distribution. ( select that all apply) -The total area under the probability density curve is 1 -It is symmetric about the mean -the z score can not be negative -the density curve is a straight line
A random phenomenon results in a number in the range of 1 to 5. All values in the range are equally likely, so the density curve is flat, as shown below. What must y be such that the probability of a number between 1 and y is 25%? Please provide an explanation for your choice.
