SUMMARY
The sound intensity level at a rock concert is measured at 115 dB, while a jazz festival registers at 95 dB. The difference of 20 dB indicates that the sound intensity at the rock concert is 100 times greater than that at the jazz festival. This conclusion is derived from the formula 10log(rock/jazz) = 20, confirming the calculations are accurate.
