Question

Potassium (K) blood levels in healthy humans are normally distributed with a mean of 17.0 mg/100 ml, and standard deviation of 1.0 mg/100 ml. Elevated levels of K indicate an electrolyte imbalance, which is caused by Addison's disease. What level or value of K should one use so that there is roughly an 84% to achieve that level of potassium?
