Question

One in 1,700 U.S. Caucasian newborns have cystic fibrosis. C is the normal allele, dominant over the recessive c. Individuals must be homozygous for the recessive allele to have the cystic fibrosis disease. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many newborns would have cystic fibrosis in a population of 10,000 people (round to the nearest whole number)?
