A worker is exposed to 98 dB for five hours and 82 dB for three hours, giving an eight-hour working day. On average, what noise level is this worker exposed to?

92 dB

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the mean formula, mean = sum of elements / number of elements.

Since it is a 8 hour work day, there are 8 elements.

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

mean = (98 + 98 + 98 + 98 + 98 + 82 + 82 + 82) / 8

mean = 736 / 8

mean = 92

So, the average noise level is 92 dB
