Probability of Exclusion (cont.)
Conclusions using this statistic relate the probability that a random person from the reference population would potentially be excluded from contributing to the mixture. For example, the probability of excluding a random person from the U.S. population from contributing to the DNA mixture is estimated to be greater than 99.997%.
