ˆ UPPER LIMIT of 3 container subscribers based on assumption that the difference between the
estimated number of total containers and the containers accounted for by subscribers with 1, 2 or 3
containers are contributed by subscribers filling FIVE containers {total containers (~33,584) - [#
subscribers @ one container level (7348) + two times # subscribers @ two container level (2*4091) +
three times # subscribers @ 3 -5 container lever (3*5353)] = 1995; if these additional containers are
contributed ONLY by subscribers who fill FIVE containers, then there are 998 (1995/2) such
subscribers, and there are (5353 - 998) or 4355 subscribers who fill 3 containers (and none who fill 4
containers)}.
ˇ LOWER LIMIT of 3 container subscribers based on assumption that the difference between the
estimated number of total containers and the containers accounted for by subscribers with 1, 2 or 3
containers are contributed by subscribers filling FOUR containers {total containers (~33,584) - [#
subscribers @ one container level (7348) + two times # subscribers @ two container level (2*4091) +
three times # subscribers @ 3 -5 container lever (3*5353)] = 1995; if these additional containers are
contributed ONLY by subscribers who fill FOUR containers, then there are 1995 such subscribers, and
there are (5353 - 1995) or 3358 subscribers who fill 3 containers (and none who fill 5 containers)}.
