I have normal distributions with their means and stand deviations and I’m trying to great their lognormal distributions. Although my normal mean and standard deviation are small numbers, their log normal are huge. Is there anything I'm doing wrong and my code are as below. Thank you in advanced.

NormalMean = [14 10.5 3.6 15 12 4.6 3.5 10];
NormaSTD   = [2.1 1.575 0.36 7.5 4.8 1.15 0.875 2]; 
row     = 1000; 
GIP     = zeros(row,length(NormalMean)); 
for i = 1:length(NormalMean)
    
R = lognrnd(NormalMean(i), NormaSTD(i),row,1);
GIP(:,i) = R;
end

so how would you do mine? is there a way from a given normal distribution, I get a reasonable log random normal distribution numbers?

If the data given for mu and sigma are those you have to use, you get big numbers from the corresponding lognormal distribution. That's a fact, and it's reasonable.

If the given mu and sigma values are those from the lognormal distribution and not from the underlying normal distribution, it's a different thing.

A random variable X is said to have the lognormal distribution with parameters μ ∈ ℝ and σ > 0 if ln( X) has the normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ. Equivalently, X = e Y where Y is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ. The lognormal distribution is used to model continuous random quantities like in when the distribution is believed to be skewed, such as certain income and lifetime variables. Distribution 1. Use the change of variables theorem to show that the probability density function of the lognormal distribution with parameters μ and σ is given by f ( x) = 1 √2 π σ x exp(−(ln( x) − μ) 2 2 σ 2 ), x > 0 2. Show that the lognormal distribution is unimodal and skewed right. Specifically, let m = exp( μ − σ 2 ) and show that a. f x is increasing on 0( ), and decreasing on m m ∞( ), , so that the mode occurs at x = m. f ( x) → 0 as x → ∞.b. f ( x) → 0 as x ↓0.
