If you have 4 compounds and you test them for antimicrobial activity using a disk diffusion assay and one is very active, one is moderately active, one is slightly active and one is not active at all, draw the disk, the zone of inhibition that you would see and a pretend numerical value to indicate the size of the zone in mm, give each one a number 1 – 4 and rank them from most effective to least effective as an antimicrobial.
