You are given the following 10-5 plaque counts from three different serial dilutions (a, b and c). For each, fill in the table to show how many plaques you would estimate you would find on the plates with the dilution factors listed (10-6, 10-7, etc.) AND identify the dilution (ranging from 10-5 to 10-9)where theoretically the results should become untrustworthy (too few to count for a reliable titer calculation).               10-5 plaque count         10-6                     10-7                     10-8                     10-9   55                                    5...
