Answer:
The original water sample contains 830,000 cells per milliliter.
Explanation:
A sample of well water is tested for its bacterial content in a plate count assay. A one-milliliter sample of the water is diluted in a 1:10 dilution series. One milliliter of the fourth dilution tube is plated in a pour plate. After incubation, the plate has 83 colonies, indicating that the original water sample contained 830,000 cells per milliliter.

I think most scientists would not respect this researchers claim.
It doesn't seem like the researcher followed the steps of the scientific method.
1.) Making an observation.
2.)Asking questions.
3.)Forming a hypothesis.
4.)Conducting an experiment.
5.)Analyzing Data.
6.)Drawing a conclusion.
7.)Showing work to others.
Publishing his/her work would be the very last step after completing everything else.
