Initially, 50 bacteria are placed in a Petri dish. It is observed that the bacteria triple in population every 8 hours.How can this information be interpreted?Select True or False for each statement.

The first statement will be "false" and the second one is "true". A further explanation is below.
According to the question,
Number of bacteria after "t" hours,
= [tex]50\times (3)^{\frac{t}{8} }[/tex]
This will be false.
Now,
After 36 hours,
→ [tex]N = 50\times (3)^{\frac{36}{8} }[/tex]
[tex]= 50\times (3)^{\frac{36}{8} }[/tex]
[tex]= 50\times (3)^{4.5}[/tex]
[tex]= 7015[/tex]
This will be true.
