question 61

Multiple Choice

Let's say that you are testing an individual's ability to discriminate tones. When the test stimulus is set at 200 Hz, the person reports a JND at 210 Hz. If I change the test frequency, the value of a JND becomes 50 Hz. What is the new test frequency?

• A) 270 Hz.
• B) 1000 Hz.
• C) 100 Hz.
• D) 400 Hz.
• E) 250 Hz.

Definitions:

Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational algorithm that relies on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results, often used to model probabilities of different outcomes in a complex system.

Random Numbers

A sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by a random chance, often used in simulations and statistical sampling.

Standard Probability Distributions

Specific mathematical functions that provide the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for a particular phenomenon.

Simulation Models

Computational models that simulate complex real-world processes or systems to analyze behavior and predict outcomes under different scenarios.
