Probability of a match at each of the 3 loci.
0.08 x 0.025 = 0.002
0.065 x 0.045 = 0.003
0.07 x 0.03 = 0.002
Probability of a match at all 3 of the loci.
0.002 x 0.003 x 0.002 = 1.23 e-8
The probability of this match is slightly greater than 1 in 100 million. Considering that there are 270 million people in the U.S., is this beyond a reasonable doubt?
