An article in Journal of Hydrology [Use of a Lognormal Distribution Model for Estimating Soil Water Retention

Question:

An article in Journal of Hydrology [“Use of a Lognormal Distribution Model for Estimating Soil Water Retention Curves from Particle-Size Distribution Data” (2006, Vol. 323(1), pp. 325–334)] considered a lognormal distribution model to estimate water retention curves for a range of soil textures. The particle-size distribution (in centimeters) was modeled as a lognormal random variable X with θ = −3.8 and ω = 0.7. Determine the following:

(a) P(X < 0.02)

(b) Value for x such that P(X ≤ x) = 0.95

(c) Mean and variance of X

Distribution
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
