*Distribution estimated from the volunteer survey.2 | |||
†The seemingly spurious result that the probability of arrest is less at a BAC of over 0.35% than at a BAC of 0.30–0.34% probably arises because the driver who has a BAC over 0.35% will be the driver most likely to be physically unable to undergo a breath test. In the rare cases when a blood test was required, the results were not entered into the Kansas City police computer, from which P(Bj|A1) was obtained. | |||
