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.t Over a period of months, an adult
male patient has taken thirteen blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.28 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with
o = 1.91 mg/dl.
