The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate parameter of 4.1% per hour. How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double? Note: This is a continuous exponential growth model. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
