Hi. I've got an interesting question.

In the CSI rebroadcast 2-3 weeks ago this dialogue about DNA test results occurred.
Gil Grissom (supervisor) speaking to Greg, the technician: "Do you have the
DNA results?"
Greg: "yes, there are 7 out of 13 matches"
Grissom: "that means they are related"
Greg: "more than that, they are parent and child"
Grissom: "yes"

a. Why is this conclusion wrong?
b. What should the dialogue be to reach this conclusion? Alternatively, what
other conclusion would these data support?

Answer

There is no answer at this time.

I think $2 isn't enough for this one...
