Answer:

DPMO 3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Defect per Millon Opportunities


1000000 * (sample \: defect)/(sample \: size) = \: dpmo

DPMO = 1,000,000 * 300/100,000 = 3,000

we divide the failure of the sample by the sample side and apply the ratio to 1,000,000 to get an expected failure per millon
