What is the probability that a paternity test will be correct?

As part of a paternity test it includes a probability value to determine the probability that the man in question is biological father or not. If the probability value is 99.99% and the mother, child and man in question have all been tested then the man is the father. If it is less than that then the man is not the father. It is impossible to get a probability value of 100% unless every man in the world were tested. As it stands a paternity test is as accurate as its probability value. Therefore a paternity test with a probability value of 99.99% has a 99.99% chance of being correct. A paternity test is very accurate and does a great job of showing a childs genetic parents. The test is 99.9% accurate.


Is p value a descriptive statistic?

No, it is not. A descriptive statistic is a measure such as mean, standard deviation etc., computed from a set of observations. A p value is something that is obtained by computing a test statistic (using a formula which may involve mean, variance etc.,) and finding the probability of obtaining a value as great as or greater than the one actually obtained. In other words, a p value is a probability and must lie between 0 and 1 whereas a descriptive statistic is not a probability. It is just a number used to describe a specific characteristic of a set of sata.
