(B) The actual prices charged for the average computer logic device and the average computer memory device
(C) The compatibility of different manufacturers logic devices and memory devices
(D) The relative durability of logic devices and memory devices
(E) The average number of logic devices and memory devices needed for an average computer system
6. The population of peregrine falcons declined rapidly during the 1950 s and 1960 s and reached an all-time low in the early 1970 s. The decline was attributed by scientists to the widespread use of the pesticide DDT in rural areas.
