n(P_{\rm obs}) = \left( \dfrac{P_{\rm min}}{P_{\rm max} - P_{\rm min}} \right) P_{\rm obs}^{-2} \int_{P_{\rm act} = P_{\rm obs}}^{P_{\rm max}} n(P_{\rm act}) P_{\rm act}\ dP_{\rm act}.
\end{equation}
\label{eqn:n_Pobs_from_Pact}
The integral extends between $P_{\rm obs}$ and $P_{\rm max}$ since only devils with $P_{\rm act}$ in that range can contribute. Consider, for example, a uniform distribution $n(P_{\rm act}) = k = {\rm const.}$, which gives
$n(P_{\rm \begin{equation}
n(P_{\rm obs}) = \frac{1}{2} k\ \left( \dfrac{P_{\rm min}}{P_{\rm max} - P_{\rm min}} \right) \left[ \left( \dfrac{P_{\rm max}}{P_{\rm obs}} \right)^2 -
1\right]$. 1\right].
\end{equation}

Figure \ref{fig:n-Pobs_from_uniform_n-Pact} compares the two distributions.
