CFU/ml average
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2017 7:16 pm
I collected the following data for my project:
boiled water (after 24 hours): 17 colonies (CFU/ML = 17)
boiled water (after 48 hours): 9 colonies (CFU/ML = 9)
1:10 diluted boiled water (after 24 hours): 6 colonies (CFU/ML = 60)
distilled water (after 24 hours): 8 colonies (CFU/ML = 8)
distilled water (after 48 hours): 13 colonies (CFU/ML = 13)
1:10 diluted distilled water (after 24 hours): 4 colonies (CFU/ML = 40)
Can I write that the average CFU/ML for boiled water is ~ 29 CFU/ML and the average CFU/ML for distilled water is ~ 20
CFU/ML?
If not, how would I find the average CFU/ML of the boiled water, and the average CFU/ML of the distilled water?
