Description
PROBAI represents the predicted probability that a multiple-race part-American Indian/Alaska Native respondent in the 2000 census, the ACS or the PRCS would have reported only American Indian or Alaska Native race if asked for a single race response. This predicted probability has been multiplied by 100 for PROBAI; users must divide PROBAI by 100 before using it.
For an explanation of how the predicted probability was calculated, see RACESING.
Single-race American Indians and Alaska Natives have a value of 100 on PROBAI; other single-race respondents have a value of 000. Biracial American Indian/'other race' people also have a code of 100 on PROBAI because of the bridging methodology explained in RACESING.
PROBAI is a 3-digit numeric variable which represents the predicted probability that a multiple-race part-American Indian/Alaska Native respondent in the 2000 census, the ACS or the PRCS would have reported only American Indian or Alaska Native race if asked for a single race response. PROBAI has two implied decimals. For example, a PROBAI value of 068 should be interpreted as 0.68. PROBAI specific variable codes for missing, edited, or unidentified observations, observations not applicable (N/A), observations not in universe (NIU), top and bottom value coding, etc. are provided below if applicable by Census year (and data sample if specified).
PROBAI Specific Variable Codes
000 = Other Single-race Respondents
100 = Single-race American Indians and Alaska Natives Respondents or Biracial American Indian/'Other race' people
User Note: Biracial American Indian/'other race' people are also coded as 100 because of the bridging methodology explained in RACESING. For an explanation of how the predicted probability was calculated see RACESING.

____________________________________________________
The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by individuals according to the race or races with which they identify.
The instruction before question 5, "For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races" reflects the federal government's treatment of Hispanic origin and race as separate and distinct concepts. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race.
People may choose to provide two or more races either by marking two or more race response boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of marking boxes and writing in responses.
If you mark the "American Indian or Alaska Native" box, also print the name of the tribe(s) in which the person is enrolled. If the person is not enrolled in a tribe, print the name of the principal tribe.
If you mark the "Other Asian" box, print the name of the specific race(s) or group(s) in the space provided. The category "Other Asian" includes persons who identify themselves as Laotian, Thai, Pakistani, Cambodian, Sri Lankan, and so on.
