Hi all,

two nasty ones and an easy one:

1. If X~N(μ, σ2) then what is the geometric mean of X? (note: I am not talking about a log-normal X)
   
2. Can you give me some other stats distribution, which is not log-normal, for which we can easily derive random numbers and for which we can do an exact equation for geometric mean and CV?
   
3. Can you guess why I ask?

Many thanks.
