In Dr. Yale's experiment in the previous question the results revealed that there are no significant differences between the reference (crime scene) and suspect samples. In a court setting, what would this result be interpreted as? Select all that apply. (No part marks)

A

If the results demonstrate that there are no differences between the two samples, then that must mean they are similar.

B

The samples are consistent with each other.

C

The experiment suggests that the identity of the perpetrator is likely to be confirmed.

D

A statistical statement, such as a probability calculation or technique error rate is not necessary because the samples match.

E

An expert witness' job in court includes educating the Trier of Fact regarding the matching technique and its reliability.
