Answer:

The noise was reduced by 5.7884 decibels

Explanation:

Using the percentage-decibel table, the 95% decibel level y obtained by interpolation

Percentage Decibel

75 4.86

95 y

100 6.0205

95-75/100-75 = y-4.86/6.0205-4.86

0.8 = y-4.86/1.1605

y-4.86 = 0.8×1.1605

y - 4.86 = 0.9284

y = 4.86+0.9284 = 5.7884 decibels
