  1. If you haven’t already done so, calculate the RMP for each ofJane’s loci using the provided allelic frequency information inTable 1 above.  Please show your work.

  1. What are the chances of two people sharing Jane’s TPOXand TH01 alleles?  Please show your work. (Youmay use exponents and round off your answer to two decimal places,eg: 1.21 x 10-7)

  1. What are the chances of someone sharing Jane’s TPOXand TH01 and FGA alleles?  Please showyour work. (You may use exponents and round off your answer to twodecimal places, eg: 1.21 x 10-7)

  1. Now calculate the total RMP (random match probability) thatJane’s DNA profile above matches the crime scene DNA purely bycoincidence? Please show your work. (You may round off your answerto two decimal places and use exponents, eg: 1.21 x10-7)
