Answer:

The probability is 99.99%

Explanation:

Because the probability that the DNA of a random person matches the DNA of the crime scene is 1/10000, that is 0.01%, then the probability that Kevin is guilty after the test is 9999/10000, that is, 99.99%.

Genrish500 [490]
The most accurate classification of the common forms of coronary artery disease and hypertension is that they are complex disorders which result from gene-environment interactions. For example, almost 60% of CAD cases are found in South East Asia, that too when their population if just 20% of the total world's population. This is due to the environmental interactions with the genetic disposition of the people of this region.
