ANSWER

Biodiversity index = 0.096

Step-by-step explanation

Given 7 different organisms with their individual numbers.

Biodiversity Index is:


\text{ }\frac{Total\text{ number of species}}{Total\text{ number of individuals in the area}}

i.e:


\begin{gathered} Biodiversity\text{ Index = }(7)/(15+2+30+1+4+16+5) \\ \text{ = }(7)/(73) \\ \text{ = 0.09589} \end{gathered}

Hence, the Biodiversity Index of Fraya's local park is 0.096. This is a low biodiversity since it's closer to 0.
