Determining concentration of alcohol and relative risk


Assignment:

The concentration of alcohol in a person's bloodstream is measurable. Suppose that the relative risk of having an accident while driving a car can be modeled by the equation:

R = e^(kx)

Where x is the percent of concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream and k is a constant.

(a) Suppose that a concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream of 0.03 percent results in a relative risk of an accident of 1.4. Find the constant k in the equation.
(b) Using the same value of k, what concentration of alcohol corresponds to a relative risk of 100?
(c) If the law asserts that anyone with a relative risk of having an accident of 5 or more should not have driving privileges, at what concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream should a driver be arrested and charged with DUI?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
