Answer:
The Probability of randomly picking the third species=0.316
Step-by-step explanation:
In a bed of mussels on the coast of California in which five species live,
The Abundance of each Species are 100, 500, 998, 12, and 1548
Total Value=100+500+998+12+1548=3158
Abundance of third Species=998
Probability[tex]=\frac{Abundance of Selected Species}{Total Abundance}[/tex]
Probability (randomly picking the third species) [tex]=\frac{998}{3158}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{499}{1579}[/tex]=0.316
