The mutation frequency mu = 1E-005. Given the the formula q^2 = mu/s we may find q: q = sqrt(mu/s) = sqrt(1E-005/0.7) = 0.00377964473009 The question about carrier frequency may be solved approximately. If q^2 term is neglected, carrier freq = 2 q = 2 0.00377964473009 = 0.00755928946018 Othervise, exact answer is [2 q (1-q) + (1-s) q^2]/[1 - s q^2] = 0.00753507909669 It is easy to see that the above approximation is quite good
