INTRODUCTION
Our final product could be very valuable and useful for future Outreach programs. Choosing a certain area in Arkansas, such as Bentonville, will help us determine the amount of arrest due to alcohol related issues. By gathering this data we were able to see possible outcomes and effects. Being able to depend on a informative topic like this one, might educate someone and also Save a Life!!!
COMMUNITY ASPECTHelping the community is something that everyone should consider, because the more people who become aware of how drinking and driving affects our citizens, helps us as well as our neighborhoods and also helps ensure safety. If we don’t work as a team to become more aware of what’s going on then there isn’t any hope in keeping our roads well equip.

•Red coded statistics are estimated predictions of “Bentonville’s DWI & DUI Arrests”.•The equation of a line we calculated on the TI-83 Plus Calculator is: Y= 12x-23904.•Our group used the original formula Y=ax+b to come up with “OUR” equation. We used the assignment titled Construction of Linear Regressions From Data to help us construct our group’s graph for the statistics of Bentonville’s DUI & DWI Arrests.•By constructing a graph we can illustrate the amount of casualties that happen throughout a year’s time because of “Drunk Driving”!
