Abstract
I WISH to point out that for the statistical analysis of certain types of data the assumption that the data are drawn from a normal population is usually wrong, and that the alternative assumption of a log-normal distribution is better. This alternative is widely used by statisticians, economists and physicists, but for some reason is often ignored by scientists of some other disciplines.
