Hi all,

two nasty ones and an easy one:

If X~N(μ, σ²) then what is the geometric mean of X? (note: I am not talking about a log-normal X)
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?
Can you guess why I ask?

Many thanks.
:-D
