Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma. Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken eight blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x=5.35mgdl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal with σ=1.85mgdlσ=1.85mgdl. What conditions are necessary for your calculations?
