Question

 Shown below is a set of cell culture plates for a plaque assay.  The assay was performed by preparing dilutions of a virus stock with the dilution factor for each prepared dilution listed below the sample.  0.5 mls of each dilution was added to confluent (fully covered) monolayers of cells on each plate.  The virus used for the assay had a titer of 2 x 1010 Plaque forming units (PFU) per ml.

Only 1 set of the above plates would have a number of plaques on it that would be both easy to count and high enough to be statistically relevant.  Which dilution set would it be and about how many plaques would there be on the plates of that dilution set.
