Answer 1

EXPLANATION/ANSWER:

The biodiversity index shows species diversity in a given area. The higher the score or closer to 1, the more diverse the species number in the community.

Given: 5 species

Hummingbird - 4 individuals

Common dandelion - 33 individuals

Yellow-winged blackbird - 8 individuals

Chipmunk - 2 individuals

Hawk - 1 individual

Total number of individuals: 48 individuals

With the use of the equation above, the answer will be

`(5)/(48)\text{ = 0.104166666667}`

Since the answer is nearer to 0, or a low score, the diversity in the community is low.
