Fitdist gives wrong answer

fitdist is givin me mu of 6.43686 with this code. Am i doing something wrong. I'm trying to get mu and sigma values to compare this data with log normal distribution
Add=16
Add = 16
%%info given in question 4
River_flood_level=[516 678 802 683 491 582 625 531 451 726 652 556 470 570 774 670 432 604 881 707 735 614 698 403 548 504 758 1000 419];
River_flood_level=River_flood_level+Add;
%%solution of question 4
fitdist(River_flood_level.','Lognormal')
ans =
LognormalDistribution Lognormal distribution mu = 6.43686 [6.35256, 6.52116] sigma = 0.22162 [0.175873, 0.29973]

Why do you think the result is incorrect? What are you expecting mu to be?
The fitted distribution looks pretty reasonable given the limited amount of data provided.

The μ and σ values are in log units. Calculatee their exponentials —

Make sense, thank you!
As always, my pleasure!
I have not worked with lognormal distrbutions in a while (although all physiological parameters are lognormally distributed) so I had to rediscover that.
Mean is not the mean of the distribution and Sigma is not the sqrt of the variance of the distribution, so I'm still not sure what the OP is, or was, looking for. Perhaps @Emmeirrt can clarify.
Corrected —

Thank you! ı just needed the info that they are in lognormal. I fixed the rest myself. Sorry for not answering early
As always, my pleasure!
No worries!
Thank you for the follow-up (and for Accepting my Answer).
