Expert Solution
Step 1

According to the question, experiment starts and the population of bacteria culture increases by 10% in the first hour. 

We need to determine the doubling time for this experiment. 

(a) Doubling time = td = (ln 2/ln(1+r)) 

where r is the growth rate. 

Substituting known, 

td = 7.27 hours. 

The doubling time for this experiment will be 2 hours as in 7.27 hours, the count of bacteria will double.
