The following table shows the number of feet a bird flies above the ground as a function of time: (In the picture)

Answer:
D.) (14, 0); the time it takes for the bird to reach the ground
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached graph shows a plot of the table values and the two offered solution options.
The dependent variable in this scenario is the bird's height above the ground. When that is zero, the bird is on the ground. This fact makes choices B and C seem ridiculous.
We note from the table and graph that the bird is on a path that decreases in height by 3 feet every 2 seconds. If the bird continues that rate of descent, it will reach the ground after 14 seconds.
That is, its (time, height) pair will be (14, 0), matching choice D.

Choosing any answer to this question requires making assumptions that are inconsistent with real-world bird behavior. At least, the problem statement should say what assumptions are applicable.

Answer:
We conclude that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a sample of 26 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2559.5 millimeters with a standard deviation of 15.0.
Let = <u><em>population mean length of the board</em></u>.
So, Null Hypothesis, :
= 2564.0 millimeters {means that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters}
Alternate Hypothesis, :
2564.0 millimeters {means that the boards are either too long or too short}
The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample t-test statistics</u> because we don't know about the population standard deviation;
T.S. = ~
where, = sample mean length of boards = 2559.5 millimeters
s = sample standard deviation = 15.0 millimeters
n = sample of boards = 26
So, <em><u>the test statistics</u></em> = ~
= -1.529
The value of t-test statistics is -1.529.
Now, at a 0.05 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.06 and 2.06 at 25 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so <u><em>we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the board's length is equal to 2564.0 millimeters.
