As part of a paternity test it includes a probability value to determine the probability that the man in question is biological father or not. If the probability value is 99.99% and the mother, child and man in question have all been tested then the man is the father. If it is less than that then the man is not the father. It is impossible to get a probability value of 100% unless every man in the world were tested. As it stands a paternity test is as accurate as its probability value. Therefore a paternity test with a probability value of 99.99% has a 99.99% chance of being correct.

A paternity test is very accurate and does a great job of showing a childs genetic parents. The test is 99.9% accurate.

A chi square probability of 0.05 means what?

If your chi square test has a probability of 0.05 or less it is likely, but not certain, that your hypothesis is not correct.


What does probability of paternity means?

Probability of paternity (POP) means how likely the man is to be the father. If the result is a 99% (or anything over 64, haha) POP I would say that he's the daddy.


If the 25 question test was true or false what is the probability that you can guess and get all correct perfect paper?

How does the experimental result differ from the theoretical in terms of accuracy?

Provided that the correct model is used, the theoretical probability is correct. The experimental probability tends towards the theoretical value as the number of trials increases.Provided that the correct model is used, the theoretical probability is correct.

Why the probability is have a specified chance to be selected and why the non probability does not have an equal of being selected?

Probability is the number of occurrences of a specific event divided by the total number of possible events. Suppose you took a multiple choice test with 4 possible answer's A, B, C, D. Only 1 of the 4 choices is correct; so the probability of correct is 1/4 and the probability of incorrect is 3/4. Most of the time the two probabilities will not be the same.

How accurate is a paternity test?

Although they are not 100% accurate, paternity test can be up to 99.9999% accurate in depending on the lab that is doing the testing. 99.9999% probability means that there is only a .0001% chance that some other random person of the same ethnic background is the father.


Can the probability of paternity be 0 percent?

If you have a sperm amount less than 3 ml the probability decreases. No, sorry to say but all it takes is one sperm. On the other hand when testing for paternity the test is never 0, it can be close to it but never zero, due to the + or - error in the mathematical formula used.


What can a paternity test do for you?

A paternity test can determine if there is a parent-child relationship between two people. A paternity test would give genetic proof of that relationship.

When you reject the Null Hypothesis that means that the Null Hypothesis cannot be correct?

No. Rejecting the Null Hypothesis means that there is a high degree of probability that it is not correct. This degree of probability is the critical level that you choose for the test statistic. However, there is still a small probability that the null hypothesis was correct.


How do you find out the score of a paternity test?

There is no 'score' on a paternity test. the man is either NOT the father or he could be.
