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

Women's rights have historically been restricted by the Supreme Court's use of which of the following?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Women's rights have historically been restricted by the Supreme Court using the reasonableness standard.

Explanation:

The reasonableness standard is used in US courts to understand whether a plaintiff or defendant acted reasonably in a harassment situation, for example, and it has been used in cases against police where the plaintiff claims excessive violence was used. There is also the "reasonable woman standard" that has been used in US Supreme Court Cases like Harris vs. Forklift Systems 510 US 17 (1993).  The Supreme Court sided in favor of Harris who had to appeal two lower court decisions that found that Harris was not sufficiently psychologically impacted for the case to constitute harassment.  The reasonableness standard can be seen as limiting because it imposes the standards of what men find reasonable in a sexual situation and coworker relationship at the expense of what women may find uncomfortable or inappropriate.
