Resumen

Se aplica la transformación logarítmica a las funciones de distribución, uniforme, exponencial y χ13, llegande en cada una de ellas a resultados interesantes, especialmerite en la uniforme, en la que además de la estabilización de la varianza se conserva la distribución normal de su media muestral.
