There is a lack of dominance in black (B) and white (W) horse coat colours. An offspring produced from a black horse and a white horse has a blue-roan coat colour (BW). When the blue-roan coat is closely examined, both black and white hair can be found. In an ideal horse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 24 out of every 150 foals have a white coat. Calculate the frequency of the black horse coat allele in the population. Express your answer using two significant digits.
