Use the Hardy-Weinberg quadratic equation for population genetics.
tt=49%
t=.7
T=.3
T+t=1.00
(.3)(.3) =TT=.09=9% Pure Tasters
2(.3)(.7)=Tt=.42=42% Hybrid Tasters
(.7(.7)=tt=.49=49% pure recessive non-tasters

49 percent are pp.
51 percent are PP or Pp.
Those are the genotypes..I think that is what you needed?
