12. A culture of bacteria in the lab doubles every 6 minutes. Assume the growth follows a continuous exponential model and you start with only 2 bacterium.
Using an appropriate exponential base, if this pattern continues to be applicable, find the time in
which the number of bacteria would reach 109. (Round to the nearest minute.)

Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. be sure to address the original claim. the foundation chair for a hospital claims that the mean number of filled overnight beds is over 523, and she is therefore justified starting a funding campaign to add a wing to the hospital. assuming that a hypothesis test has been conducted and that the conclusion is failure to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.
