We face so many unknowns with MDS, but the chances of a sibling match are one case where the mathematics are exact.
People with a single brother or sister have only a 25% chance of getting a match. With six brothers and sisters the chances are over 80%. Big families come in handy!
Here's how the numbers break down (excluding identical twins, who always match):
Code:
# siblings Chance of at least one match
---------- ----------------------------
1 25.0%
2 43.8%
3 57.8%
4 68.4%
5 76.3%
6 82.2%
Good luck, Ron!
