First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.

a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5

Then, we can find the sum by the expression:

S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313

The rock hits the ground between <u>2</u> seconds and <u>2.5</u> seconds after it is dropped

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is presented as follows;

\begin{array}{ccl}t&h(t)&Description\\0&20&Initial \ height\\0.5&18.8&Rock \ in \ downward \ motion\\1&15.1&\\1.5&9&\\2&0.4&The \ height \ just \ before \ the \ rock \ hits \ the \ ground \\2.5&-10.6&The \ calculated \ height \ after\ the \ rock \ hits \ the \ ground \\3&-24.1&Calculated \ height \ after\ the \ rock \ hits \ the \ ground\end{array}

Therefore, the rock hits the ground between t = 2 seconds and t = 2.5 seconds after it is dropped.
