Question: ( 1 5 points ) Problem 6 . Biologist Bigelow counts the number of songbirds at a serious of elevations above the base of Pikes

(15 points) Problem 6. Biologist Bigelow counts the number of songbirds at a serious of elevations above the base of Pikes Peak. The following are Bigelow's results.
\table[[Elevation (m),songbirds],[0,30],[100,60],[200,75],[350,90],[500,75],[700,60],[900,45],[1150,30],[1400,0]]
What will Bigelow estimate the integral of these songbird numbers to be from the base of Pikes Peak to an elevation of 1400 m if he numerically integrates the data
using the trapezoid rule with 8 intervals: 0-100,100-200,200-350,350-500,500-700,700-900,900-1150, and 1150-1400?
using the midpoint rule with 4 intervals: 0-200,200-500,500-900, and 900-1400?
using Simpson's rule with 4 intervals: 0-200,200-500,500-900, and 900-1400?
