Answer 1

To find the frequency of red flowers in the population, we first need to calculate the total number of flowers and then determine the proportion of red flowers.

1. Calculate the total number of flowers:
- Blue flowers: 120
- Red flowers: 100
- Yellow flowers: 180

Total flowers = 120 + 100 + 180 = 400

2. Calculate the frequency of red flowers:
Frequency of red flowers = (Number of red flowers) / (Total number of flowers)
Frequency of red flowers = 100 / 400 = 0.25

Thus, the frequency of red flowers in the population is **0.25**.
