Area under a PDF curve

Hi all!
I have a brief question. I am trying to obtain the area under a PDF curve. Concretely, the PDF follows a Lognormal distribution with paremeter mu=0 and sigma=0.9.
zmax=10;
gridz=600;
m=0;
sig=0.9;
z=logspace(0,log(zmax)/log(10),gridz);
g=lognpdf(z,m,sig);
trapz(z,g)
However, the value I obtain is equal to 0.49, far from 1. Any advise please?
Thanks in advanced,
Ibai

Hi Torsten,
Thank you for your answer! Using linspace and starting at 0, gives me back a value very close to one.
However, I would like to ask why when z(1)=0 gives back a value close to one and when I use z(1)=1 not. That is, when I am building the pdf I am giving to Matlab a grid with 600 points that goes from 1 to 10.
Thank you in advanced.

The area under the PDF curve between 0 and 1 is 0.5.

Ran in:
For pdf that matlab supports, you can use cdf function to find the area under pdf. For your case
zmax=10;
m=0;
sig=0.9;
logncdf(zmax, m, sig)
ans = 0.9947
