It is a commonplace belief that the thumbprint of every human who has
ever lived is different. Develop and analyze a model that will allow
you to assess the probability that this is true. Compare the odds (that
you found in this problem) of misidentification by fingerprint evidence
against the odds of misidentification by DNA evidence.
指纹是独一无二的吗?
人们普遍认为世界上每一个活人的指纹都是不一样的,请设计一个模型,并且用该模型分析以上说法正确的可能性,比较一下因为指纹相同导致确认身份时产生错误的可能性和因为DNA相同导致产生错误的可能性。
