**Theorem:** Let $X$ be a [random variable](/D/rvar) following a [log-normal distribution](/D/lognorm):
30+
31+
$$ \label{eq:lognorm}
32+
X \sim \ln \mathcal{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)
33+
$$
34+
35+
Then, the [mean or expected value](/D/mean) of $X$ is
36+
37+
$$
38+
\mathrm{E}(X) = \exp \left( \mu + \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right)
39+
$$

**Proof:** The [expected value](/D/mean) is the probability-weighted average over all possible values:
43+
44+
$$ \label{eq:mean}
45+
\mathrm{E}(X) = \int_{\mathcal{X}} x \cdot f_X(x) \, \mathrm{d}x
46+
$$
47+
48+
With the [probability density function of the log-normal distribution](/P/lognorm-pdf), this is:
49+
50+
$$ \label{eq:lognorm-mean-s1}
51+
\begin{split}
52+
\mathrm{E}(X) &= \int_{0}^{+\infty} x \cdot \frac{1}{x\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2} } \cdot \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \frac{\left(\ln x-\mu\right)^2}{\sigma^2} \right] \mathrm{d}x \\
53+
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2} } \int_{0}^{+\infty} \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \frac{\left(\ln x-\mu\right)^2}{\sigma^2} \right] \mathrm{d}x
54+
\end{split}
55+
$$
56+
57+
Substituting $z = \frac{\ln x -\mu}{\sigma}$, i.e. $x = \exp \left( \mu + \sigma z \right )$, we have:
58+
59+
$$ \label{eq:lognorm-mean-s2}
60+
\begin{split}
61+
\mathrm{E}(X) &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2} } \int_{(-\infty -\mu )/ (\sigma)}^{(\ln x -\mu )/ (\sigma)} \exp \left( -\frac{1}{2} z^2 \right) \mathrm{d} \left[ \exp \left( \mu +\sigma z \right) \right] \\
62+
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2} } \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \exp \left( -\frac{1}{2} z^2 \right) \sigma \exp \left( \mu +\sigma z \right) \mathrm{d}z \\
63+
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi} } \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \exp \left( -\frac{1}{2} z^2 + \sigma z + \mu \right) \mathrm{d}z \\
64+
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi} } \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left( z^2 - 2 \sigma z - 2 \mu \right) \right] \mathrm{d}z
65+
\end{split}
66+
$$
67+
68+
Now multiplying $\exp \left( \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right)$ and $\exp \left( -\frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right)$, we have:
69+
70+
$$ \label{eq:lognorm-mean-s3}
71+
\begin{split}
72+
\mathrm{E}(X) &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi} } \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left( z^2 - 2 \sigma z + \sigma^2 - 2 \mu - \sigma^2 \right) \right] \mathrm{d}z \\
73+
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi} } \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left( z^2 - 2\sigma z + \sigma^2 \right) \right] \exp \left( \mu + \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right) \mathrm{d}z \\
74+
&= \exp \left( \mu + \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right) \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi} } \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left( z - \sigma \right)^2 \right] \mathrm{d}z
75+
\end{split}
76+
$$
77+
78+
The [probability density function of a normal distribution](/P/norm-pdf) is given by
79+
80+
$$ \label{eq:norm-pdf}
81+
f_X(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi} \sigma} \cdot \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)^2 \right]
82+
$$
83+
84+
and, with unit variance $\sigma^2 = 1$, this reads:
85+
86+
$$
87+
= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} \cdot \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left({x-\mu} \right)^2 \right]
88+
$$
89+
90+
Using the definition of the [probability density function](/D/pdf), we get
91+
92+
$$ \label{eq:def-pdf}
93+
\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} \cdot \exp \left[ -\frac{1}{2} \left({x-\mu} \right)^2 \right] \mathrm{d}x = 1
94+
$$
95+
96+
and applying \eqref{eq:def-pdf} to \eqref{eq:lognorm-mean-s3}, we have:
97+
98+
$$ \label{eq:lognorm-mean}
99+
\mathrm{E}(X) = \exp \left( \mu + \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2 \right) .
