The effects of assuming a normal distribution when in fact the data are lognormal are examined with respect to confidence intervals based on the usual t-statistic. The nature and degree of coverage probabilities which can be overstated or understated are examined. © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
