Answer:

D_m=1/2      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

2 species

Assuming that questions a and be are solved

Diversity index D=2p_1p_2

with p_1 +p_2 =1

Mathematically

D=2p_1(1-p_1)

D=2(p_1-p_1^2)

D=2({\frac{1}{4} -(p_1-1/2)^2}

Therefore

D=\frac{1}{2} -2(p_1-1/2)^2

Giving

D_m=1/2      

p_1=1/2
