You live on a busy street, but as a music lover, you want to reduce the traffic noise.

If you install special sound-reflecting windows that reduce the sound intensity level by 35.0 dB , by what factor have you reduced the sound intensity?

If, instead, you reduce the intensity by half, what change (in dB) do you make in the sound intensity level?

    Attempts: Average: /3 3. Observing differences between between-treatments variance and within-treatments variance Aa Aa Dr. Nicholas Guegen uses observational methods to study how certain kinds of environmental stimuli influence human behavior. In one study, he manipulated the volume of music played in bars to see how it would impact patrons drinking behaviors. Trained observers recorded the number of drinks ordered by several patrons in two establishments. The sound level was manipulated in both establishments, and all observations occurred over three...

    I kindly request, please show the steps, that is where I need help. I do not wish to waste my questions, so please show steps, that will really help me. Thank You. The decibel scale is logarithmic in intensity: β=10log10II0dB. In this formula, I0 is a reference intensity. To convert the intensity of sound waves from SI units to dB, I0 is taken to be 10−12W/m2. Once you know the intensity of a source in dB as measured at some...
