Abel Bates · Answer 1

The answer is b) : Yes, and it is highly probable.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Yes, it is highly probable that the mean BAC of all drivers involved in fatal accidents and found to have positive BAC values, is less than the legal intoxication level because blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level is not the most/only factor that determines fatal accidents. Other types of human errors are the main causes of fatal accidents; they include: side distractions, avoiding the use of helmets and seat belts, over-speeding, beating traffic red lights, overtaking in an inappropriate manner, using the wrong lane, etc. Most times, these errors are not caused by BAC levels.
