Abstract A method is described which is potentially capable of closely estimating the normal range from laboratory data. The estimation is made on probability paper using a purposely truncated form of the "normal" distribution. A fictitious set of data has been used to illustrate the efficiency of estimation of normals. The method has been used to estimate the normal range of blood urea.
