in a case in riverhead, New York, nine different crime victims listened to voice recordings of five diffent men. All nine victims identified the same voice as that of the criminal. If the voice identified were made by random guesses, find the probality that all nine victims would select the same person. Does this consitute reasonable doubt?

To find the probability that all nine victims would select the same person if they were randomly guessing, we can assume that each victim has a 1/5 chance of guessing correctly (since there are five different men to choose from).

The probability that a single victim guesses correctly is 1/5, and since all nine victims need to guess correctly, we multiply the probabilities together:

(1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) = (1/5)^9 ≈ 0.000001 (or 0.0001%)

So, the probability that all nine victims would select the same person by random guessing is approximately 0.000001 (or 0.0001%).

Now, as for whether this constitutes reasonable doubt, it depends on the context and other evidence present in the case. While the probability of all nine victims randomly guessing the same person is extremely low, it doesn't necessarily prove the guilt of that person beyond a reasonable doubt. Other factors like additional evidence, witnesses, or any conflicting evidence must also be considered before drawing a conclusion. The burden of proof lies with the prosecution to convince the judge or jury of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
