[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT-4 Turbo]

To find the number of feet the diver is above the ocean after 2 seconds, we plug \( t = 2 \) into the formula given:

\[ h = 75 - 16t^2 \]

Plugging \( t = 2 \) into the formula:

\[ h = 75 - 16(2)^2 \]
\[ h = 75 - 16(4) \]
\[ h = 75 - 64 \]
\[ h = 11 \]

So, the competitive cliff-diver is 11 feet above the ocean after 2 seconds.
