To find out how many students in a U.S. public school with 1,000 students would be expected to be Black non-Hispanic, we need to calculate 17% of 1,000.
The calculation is as follows:
\[
\text{Number of Black non-Hispanic students} = \frac{17}{100} \times 1000 = 170
\]
Therefore, the expected number of Black non-Hispanic students in a school with 1,000 students is **170**.
The calculation is as follows:
\[
\text{Number of Black non-Hispanic students} = \frac{17}{100} \times 1000 = 170
\]
Therefore, the expected number of Black non-Hispanic students in a school with 1,000 students is **170**.
