What is the difference between to think and to reckon?
To reckon means to count. Its use as a synonym for "to think" in general is non-standard.
What if your instructor asks you to determine the number of organisms in a water sample observation of your dilution plates reveals?
I think you would eliminate plate counts that are not between 30-300 colonies. <30, because its too few to count, >300 too numerous to count.
How do you find number of observations in a given statistical grouped data within 1.6 standard deviation?
1.6*s+mean and1.6*s and count numbers between them
A number between 24 and 34 and count by 2 or 5 to get it?
Count 5
I am a number between 24 and 34 you get to me when you count by twos you get to me when you count by fives what number am I?
30

How could the pour plate procedure be used for counting the number of bacteria in a sample?
It is recommended that plates that should be counted should be between 30 and 300 McCance and Harrigan (1992). When more that 300 colonies you cant count them with great accuracy and represented with TNC ( too numerous to count). If colonies are less that 30 do you conclude that there was no bacteria in a product or food, if counting less than 20 colonies is unrealistic. Some standards are zero tolerant where even one colony means alot. So IDF (19991/1992) came up with a formula which takes in account the plates with/ even less than 30 colonies. The formula takes into account all sums of colonies obtained on the pour plates to come up with total cfus
How do you determine the number of organisms in a water sample if your dilution plate has presence of spreading colonies?
To determine the number of organisms in a water sample when spreading colonies are present on a dilution plate, you would count the number of colonies on a plate with a countable amount (usually between 30-300 colonies). Then, you would multiply this count by the dilution factor used and adjust for the volume plated to calculate the total number of organisms in the original water sample. Keep in mind that any spreading colonies need to be accounted for in this calculation.
What is affect of spores on tpc count?
Spores do not contribute to the total plate count (TPC) as they do not metabolize on standard culture media used for TPC determination. Only viable bacteria that can grow and form colonies will affect the TPC count. Spores may appear on plates as the result of sporulation by certain bacteria, but they are not included in the TPC calculation.
Why is the total viable count based on 30-300 colonies of microorganisms?
The range of 30-300 colonies is used because it provides a statistically significant sample size for counting colonies and estimating the number of viable microorganisms in a given sample. If there are too few colonies, the count may not be representative of the actual microbial population, and if there are too many colonies, it can be difficult to accurately count and differentiate individual colonies.
How many colonies were there at the start of the American war of independence?
Count the bars on the American flag. There is 13; one for each of the original colonies.
What does the American stripes stand for?
the 13 colonies. if you count there is 13 stripes.
