The Pareto distribution and [[log-normal distribution]] are alternative distributions for describing the same types of quantities. One of the connections between the two is that they are both the distributions of the exponential of random variables distributed according to other common distributions, respectively the [[exponential distribution]] and [[normal distribution]]. (See [[#Relation_to_the_exponential_distribution|the previous section]].) | The Pareto distribution and [[log-normal distribution]] are alternative distributions for describing the same types of quantities.
