Exponential of a Normal: The Log-Normal Distribution

题目

Let XN(μ,σ2)X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2) and define Y=eXY = e^X.

(a) Derive the PDF of YY using the change-of-variables formula.

(b) Using the MGF of the normal distribution, compute E[Y]E[Y] and Var(Y)\operatorname{Var}(Y).

(c) Show that the median of YY is eμe^{\mu} and explain why E[Y]>median(Y)E[Y] > \text{median}(Y) when σ>0\sigma > 0.
