Consider, for example, a uniform distribution $n(P_{\rm act}) = k = {\rm const.}$, which give rise to $n(P_{\rm obs}) = \frac{1}{2} k\ \left( \dfrac{P_{\rm min}}{P_{\rm max} - P_{\rm min}} \right) \left[ \left( \dfrac{P_{\rm max}}{P_{\rm obs}} \right)^2 - 1\right] }$.  The figure below compares the two distributions.
