P + q = 1

p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.37
p = 0.63

therefore, the frequency of P is C) 0.63.

Answer:

0.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a population of rabbits, the frequency of q is 0.37.

We know that q is the probability of failure while p is the probability of success.

Hence p+q =1

From the above we can find p using the value of q

p = 1-q

=1-0.37

=0.63

Hence option c is the right answer
