If only the first five loci listed in Table 1 of the assigned paper  (Forensics, DNA Fingerprinting, and CODIS) were analyzed, what would be the statistical probability of finding that particular genotype among people other than Suspect B? SHOW YOUR WORK!

 

HintMultiply together the frequencies of the individual STR genotypes to obtain the overall profile frequency.
