4. Suppose that the DNA pattern generated from the hair sample at the crime scene did not match any of the DNA patterns of the suspects. Which conclusion can be drawn?
A)Only one of the suspects can be ruled out.
B)None of the suspects can be ruled out.

somebody please help me. I have no clue what the answers are. please please please PLEASE help me!!!
The first one is D, because the probability of multiple suspects to share one fragment that is tested is much higher than when multiple fragments are tested. The FBI uses 13 when running crime scene tests.

The second one is C, if multiple patterns are used in testing and neither suspect share ANY of them then it is generally safe to exclude them from the investigation.
thank you so much!
