    The document calculates the index of diversity for two habitats (Habitat 1 and Habitat 2) based on the number of individuals of three species (A, B, C) in each habitat. Habitat 1 has an index of diversity of 2.40, while Habitat 2 has an index of diversity of 2.97. Therefore, the document concludes that Habitat 2 is more diverse based on its higher diversity index value.

    _______________________________________________________________

    ❖ Consider the two Habitats each with species in them called A, B, and C.
    Calculate the index of diversity for each habitat and work out which habitat is
    more diverse.

    ● Habitat 1

    Species Number of (n-1) n(n-1)


    individuals of
    each species (n)

    A 50 49 50x49=2450

    B 12 11 12x11=132

    C 28 27 28x27=756

    Total number of 90 89 90x89=8010


    organisms (N)

    Show your working below.


    D=8010/4250+132+756
    D=8010/3338
    D=2.40

    ● Habitat 2

    Species Number of (n-1) n(n-1)


    individuals of each
    species (n)

    A 37 36 37x36=1332

    B 24 23 24x23=552

    C 29 28 29x28=812

    Total number of 90 89 90x89=8010


    organisms (N)

    Show your working below .
    D=8010/1332+552+812
    D=8010/2696
    D=2.97

    HABITAT 2 HAVE MORE DIVERSITY INDEX

    ❖ Comparing and Contrasting:


    Explain and Evaluate the result of your two habitats.

    Habitat 1 have 2.40 of diversity index, while habitat 2 have 2.97 of


    diversity index. So, habitat 2 have more diversity index.

    END.
