A population consists of 10,000 bacterial cells. It is treated with a sterilizing agent. The environment with this population becomes sterile in two hours. What is its D-Value?

 

 

I'm struggling with this question because I thought that in order to get the correct d-value, you needed to have a temperature. ?? Is this not correct? I don't know how to go about solving this problem without that information. Any help??
