Question

Medical research indicates that the risk of having a car accident increases
exponentially as the concentration of alcohol in the blood increases. The risk is modeled by R = 6e12.77x, where x is the blood alcohol concentration and R, given as a percent, is the risk of having a car accident. What blood alcohol concentration corresponds to a 17% risk of a car accident? How is this shown on the graph of R in the herewith given Figure?

A blood alcohol concentration of 0.22
corresponds to near certainty, or a 100%
pro bability, of a car accident.
