1. The problem states that the lowest wind speed recorded is 5 mph and the highest is 14 mph.
2. We want to find an inequality that is true for all wind speeds $w$ recorded that day.
3. Since $w$ can be any value between the lowest and highest speeds, $w$ must be at least 5 and at most 14.
4. This means the inequality is $$5 \leq w \leq 14$$
5. Let's check the options:
- a. $w \leq 5$ is false because wind speeds can be higher than 5.
- b. $w \leq 9$ is false because wind speeds can be higher than 9.
- c. $w \geq 14$ is false because wind speeds can be lower than 14.
- d. $5 \leq w \leq 14$ is true because it includes all wind speeds between 5 and 14.
Final answer: d. $5 \leq w \leq 14$
