AP Statistics Semester 2 DUI State Project:
Linking Up Crash Data -The State Data Program (SDP) supports NHTSA’s efforts to identify traffic safety
problems, help develop and implement vehicle and driver countermeasures, evaluate motor vehicle standards,
and to study crash avoidance issues, crashworthiness issues, and regulations.
Crash OUtCOme Data Evaluation System 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.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “A motor vehicle crash is
considered to be alcohol-related if at least one driver or non-occupant (such as a pedestrian or
pedalcyclist) involved in the crash is determined to have had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01
gram per deciliter (g/dL) or higher. Thus, any fatality that occurs in an alcohol-related crash is
considered an alcohol-related fatality. The term ‘alcohol-related‘ does not indicate that a crash or fatality
was caused by the presence of alcohol.” **A driver involved in a motor vehicle crash is considered
alcohol-impaired if he or she exhibits a BAC of .08 or greater.

Before you start, save the example file and rename this file as YOURLASTNA1/IE_DUI Stats
1) Each student will research DUI statistics for a different one of the fifty states.
2) Students will research several websites for laws, penalties and data on driving fatalities associated
with alcohol such as wvvw.alcoholalert.com or http://alcoholpolicyniaaa.nih.gov/ or
http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/DrinkingAndDriving.html
3) The main statistical components of the project are regression analysis, finding the best model, a two-
proportion z-test comparing to California, and a two-proportion z-interval. Minor statistical components
are boxplot and histogram.
Power Point, DVD, video, Poster or Prezi: with full page graphs and the following:
0 Introduction: What did the research reveal about the DUI laws and penalties for your
state? Any other interesting discoveries? How does this compare to California? How do the
2012* proportions of DUI fatalities in your state compare to California? Use a one-tailed
two-proportion z-test and two-proportion z-interval.
Copy data from http1//www.alcoholalert.com/drunk-driving-stati stics-texas.html change state name!
and paste into columns into EXCEL spreadsheet and analyze the alcohol-related fatalities for the state
that was chosen. Find the alc-related proportions by dividing the column of alc-related fatalities by the
total fatalities in each year. Explanation of the data collected* by your research.
0 Make a boxplot of the DUI fatalities for your state for the years from 1982 to 2012 and comment
on the features of the boxplot. Make a histogram of the DUI fatalities (same data as the boxplot).
Compare and contrast the features of the histogram display to the boxplot.
0 Find six comparisons between your chosen state and California that was found in the 2012 State
of Drunk Driving Fatalities in America.

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. What other statistics such as “driving distracted”, “texting”, “speeding fatalities” or “drowsy driving” was learned from research for the project?
California Drunk Driving Statistics
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.

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?
In 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.
