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 five blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.45 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with ? = 1.81 mg/dl.(a)Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)lower limit -upper limit -margin of error-
Find the sample size necessary for a 95% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 1.04 for the mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) __ blood tests
