Answer:

the Defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 5,000,000 defects per million opportunities

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the Defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is shown below:

= Defects ÷ total parts × one million

= (5 × 300,000) ÷ (300,000) × 1,000,000

= 5,000,000 defects per million opportunities

Hence, the Defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 5,000,000 defects per million opportunities

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
