+Characteristic of a lognormal frequency distribution.
+Sometimes written "log-normal" or ""log normal"".
-The mathematical function which is the inverse of "raising to the power of".
+(Not to be confused with the Natural logarithm
-Usually abbreviated to "log".
-For example working with logarithms to the base 10:
-log<sub>10</sub>(100) = 2
-And 10<sup>2</sup> = 100
-More generally with logarithms to the base n:
-log<sub>n</sub>(x) = the power which, when 'n' is raised to it = x
-For example 10<sup>(log<sub>10</sub>(x))</sup> = x
-And, more generally, n<sup>(log<sub>n</sub>(x))</sup> = x
-.
-The logarithm to the base 10.
