Step-by-step explanation:

i think that this is the answer

hope it helps

The concept of ratio is applied to get the population.

If the random sample of flowers is 40.

Thus, the population of the tulips and daffodils is 10 and 30.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Given

Scientist estimates that there are 150 tulips in the population of 600 tulips and daffodils.

The population of the daffodils is 450.

To find

The random sample of flowers represents the population.

First, the ratio of the tulips and daffodils will be

[tex]\rm \dfrac{Tulips}{Daffodils} = \dfrac{150}{450}\\\\ \dfrac{Tulips}{Daffodils} = \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

If the random sample of flowers is 40.

Then, the population of the tulips and daffodils will be 10 and 30.

Thus, the population of the tulips and daffodils is 10 and 30.
