Does anybody know why the command
>stats[random, lognormal[0,1]](10);
sometimes run, sometimes doesn't?

It may depend on whether you are using MapleV Rel 5 or Maple6. With 5, try:
>with(stats);
>statevalf[pdf,lognormal[0,1]](10);
Alternately, without the first line,
>stats[statevalf,pdf,lognormal[0,1]](10);
is a possible answer, too. But maybe you want the cdf?

hi,
I can confirm that. For me it works every 3-4 time on average.

It seems to run into trouble with the fact that the lognormal
random variable must be positive. Of course a work-around is
to get a lognormal[0,1] random variable as exp of a normal[0,1]
random variable.
