A middle-aged man typically has poorer hearing than a middle-aged woman. In one case a woman can just begin to hear a musical tone, while a man can just begin to hear the tone only when its intensity level is increased by 7.8 dB relative to the just-audible intensity level for the woman. What is the ratio of the sound intensity just detected by the man to the sound intensity just detected by the woman?
