Can you help me with C thank you! It's finding the sample size.
2) Diagnostic Tests: Uric Acid - 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= 5.35 mg/dl. The
distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal with a = 1.85 mg/dl
