Should EMS remain under the federal branch of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration / Department of Transportation or should the authority be transferred to another federal branch, and if so, who and why?
Homework Answers
Emergency medical services on a basic level are provided as a transport operation to take the patients from their location to the nearest medical facility. Such services are managed by different deparments across different countries.
Such operations will have established operation protocols which will be implemented by the concerned administrations while rendering their services and hence transferring the authority to other administrations may not have much impact on how such services are carried out.
Departments / Administrations that manage EMS for some countries are given below for reference;
- USA - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- Australia - State Ambulance Services, which are a division of the state or territorial governments
- Hong Kong - Hong Kong Fire Service together with some voluntary organizations.
- United Kingdom - National Health Services
- Russia - Disaster Medical Service

The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 31 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 18 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use α = 0.01.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the average age of a driver involved in a fatal crash is 39.4 years, with a standard deviation of 17.4 years. Suppose a random sample of 50 drivers involved in a fatal crash is selected. [Source: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/810853] What is the probability that the average age of drivers involved in fatal crash in the sample exceeds 41?

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gathers data concerning the causes of highway crashes where at least one fatality has occurred. From the 1998 annual study, the following probabilities were determined (BAC is blood-alcohol level): ?(???=0|Crash with fatality)=0.625 ?(??? is between .01 and .09|Crash with fatality)=0.302 ?(??? is greater than .09|Crash with fatality)=0.069 Suppose over a certain stretch of highway during a 1-year period, the probability of being involved in a crash that results in at least one fatality...

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) claims that, in a car accident, Tesla passengers are less likely to be injured than their non-Tesla counterparts. They select a random sample of 200 Tesla passengers and 400 non-Tesla passengers who were in a car accident. From their data, they found that 5.5% of the Tesla passengers and 9% of the non-Tesla passengers were injured. Test the NHTSA’s claim at a 10% significance level. a) Define Population 1 and Population 2. b)...

Does eating while driving make an accident more likely? Researchers from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration looked at national traffic and accident records from a recent year for those drivers who were eating versus those who were not. Result: The odds of an accident were 80 percent higher when eating than when not. This study is a(n): a. experiment, but without randomization. b. simple random sample. c. observational study, but not a simple random sample. d. randomized comparative experiment.
