\nAP Statistics Semester 2 DUI State Project:<\/p>\n

Linking Up Crash Data -The State Data Program (SDP) supports NHTSA\u2019s efforts to identify traffic safety
\nproblems, help develop and implement vehicle and driver countermeasures, evaluate motor vehicle standards,
\nand to study crash avoidance issues, crashworthiness issues, and regulations.<\/p>\n

Crash OUtCOme Data Evaluation System Injuries resulting from motor
\nvehicle crashes remain a major public health problem. These injuries cause unnecessary burden of increased
\ntaxes and insurance premiums. They can be prevented, or reduced, but only if we understand their type,
\nseverity and cost in relation to the characteristics of the crash, vehicles, and persons involved. Crash data
\nalone do not indicate the injury problem in terms of the medical and financial consequences. By linking crash,
\nvehicle, and behavior characteristics to their specific medical and financial outcomes, we can identify
\nprevention factors.<\/p>\n

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), \u201cA motor vehicle crash is
\nconsidered to be alcohol-related if at least one driver or non-occupant (such as a pedestrian or
\npedalcyclist) involved in the crash is determined to have had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01
\ngram per deciliter (g\/dL) or higher. Thus, any fatality that occurs in an alcohol-related crash is
\nconsidered an alcohol-related fatality. The term \u2018alcohol-related\u2018 does not indicate that a crash or fatality
\nwas caused by the presence of alcohol.\u201d **A driver involved in a motor vehicle crash is considered
\nalcohol-impaired if he or she exhibits a BAC of .08 or greater.<\/p>\n

1) Each student will research DUI statistics for a different one of the fifty states.<\/p>\n

2) Students will research several websites for laws, penalties and data on driving fatalities associated
\nwith alcohol such as wvvw.alcoholalert.com or http:\/\/alcoholpolicyniaaa.nih.gov\/ or
\nhttp:\/\/www2.potsdam.edu\/hansondj\/DrinkingAndDriving.html<\/p>\n

3) The main statistical components of the project are regression analysis, finding the best model, a two-
\nproportion z-test comparing to California, and a two-proportion z-interval. Minor statistical components
\nare boxplot and histogram.<\/p>\n

Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES)<\/p>\n

Injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes remain a major public health problem. These injuries cause unnecessary burden of increased taxes and insurance premiums. They can be prevented, or reduced, but only if we understand their type, severity and cost in relation to the characteristics of the crash, vehicles, and persons involved. Crash data alone do not indicate the injury problem in terms of the medical and financial consequences. By linking crash, vehicle, and behavior characteristics to their specific medical and financial outcomes, we can identify prevention factors.<\/p>\n

Using excel, make a scatterplot with the years 1982 to 2012 on the x-axis and the DUI fatality rates on the y-axis. Find a linear model and the correlation. Include the line on the scatterplot, and label x-bar, y-bar. Calculate and interpret the value of r2. Find the residuals, and se and interpret in context. Make a residual plot and assess the fit of the linear model based on the residual plot. Find a better model for some or all of the bivariate data and explain the reasoning for your method. Do not use cubic or quartic! Stick with a simple curve, and more recent data last 10 to 12 years. Complete a linear regression test to determine the usefulness of the model.

California Drunk Driving Statistics<\/p>\n

As shown below, the percentage of alcohol related fatalities out of the total number of traffic fatalities in California was highest in 1982 at 61%, but the total number of alcohol related fatalities peaked in 1987 with 2,961. Since then, there was a steady decline in both the total number of driving fatalities and in drunk driving deaths, until 1998. From 1998 through 2005, there was a stubborn reversal of the downward trend. In 2008, out of all traffic fatalities, 30% involved a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher, which accounted for 1029 deaths.<\/p>\n

Oral Presentations with Visual Aids (Posters, videos or Power Points)Individual student DUI presentations, about 5-6 minute presentations using Power Point, posters or overhead transparencies. Students will be scored on clarity of analysis, creativity, involvement of the class, and should be prepared for questions. Were correct methods used in hypothesis testing Are the conclusions and analysis accurate and in context of the data collected
\nIn fatal crashes in 2011 the highest percentage of drivers with a BAC level of .08 or higher was for drivers ages 21 to 24. The proportion of drivers involved in fatal crashes with BAC levels of .08 or higher was 24 percent among males and 14 percent among females. The percentages of drivers involved in fatal crashes with a BAC level of .08 or higher in 2011 were 29 percent for motorcycles, 24 percent for passenger cars, and 21 percent for light trucks.
