Question: Sketch predicted data for a normal - hearing listener for the following notched noise experiment. The signal to be detected is 1 0 0 0

Sketch predicted data for a normal-hearing listener for the following notched noise experiment.
The signal to be detected is 1000 Hz in a noise with a notch. Thresholds for this signal are measured at different notch bandwidths (placed symmetrically around the signal frequency): 0,25,50,75,100, and 200 Hz. The experiment is conducted at two masker levels: one high (e.g.,80 dB SPL) and one low (e.g.,30 dB SPL).
Your sketch should illustrate the following:
a. The condition (high or low level) that produces the most masking for the 0-Hz notch (i.e., no spectral notch)
b. The condition (high or low level) that yields less frequency-specific data In your sketch, you should consider the size of the auditory filter's bandwidth at 1000 Hz and the effects of level on masking and the auditory bandwidth.
