Activity
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 (BAC) and R, written as a percent, is the risk of
having a car accident.
According the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) it is illegal for any person to
operate a vehicle with a:
• BAC of 0.08% or higher, if the person is 21 years old or older.
• BAC of 0.01% or higher, if the person is under 21 years old.
What Blood Alcohol Concentration corresponds to a 17% risk of a car accident?
What Blood Alcohol Concentration corresponds to a 7% risk of a car accident?
Use the Blood Alcohol Concentration chart (on back) to determine the likelihood a 140 pound
(lbs) female will be in an accident if she has had 5 drinks.

Şubract 0.01% of each 40 minutes that lapse between drinks.
1 drink = 1.5 oz. 80 proof liquor, 12 oz. 5% beer, or 5 oz. 12% wine.
Fewer than 5 persons out of 100 will exceed these values.
