Not so sure about that, can someone explain?

Yup, D is the right choice!

Wait, how do you get 1,000,000 in there? Seems off.

Definitely going with option D! Makes the most sense.

DPMO is calculated using defects per million opportunities.

I believe the formula is DPMO = (defects / (total cards * opportunities)) * 1,000,000, so I think option D might be the right choice.

I’m a bit lost on whether to include the 14 defects in the calculation or just focus on the total defects.

I remember a similar question where we had to divide the defects by the total opportunities, which is the number of cards times the number of defects.

I think we need to calculate the defects per million opportunities, but I'm not sure if we should use the total defects or something else.

Okay, I think I see it now. The total number of opportunities is the number of time cards (328) multiplied by the number of possible defects (14). So the formula is total defects (87) divided by that total, times 1,000,000. I'm feeling good about this!

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the total number of opportunities the number of time cards (328) or the number of possible defects (14)? I want to make sure I plug the right values into the formula.

I've got this! The DPMO formula is total defects divided by total opportunities, times 1,000,000. So it's 87 / (328 * 14), times 1,000,000. Easy peasy!

Hmm, this looks tricky. I'm not totally sure which formula to use here. Maybe I should re-read the question carefully and try to break it down piece by piece.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We have the total number of defects (87) and the total number of time cards (328), as well as the number of possible defects (14). I think the key is figuring out the right formula to calculate the DPMO.

I'm going with option D as well. It's the only one that seems to properly incorporate all the given information. DPMO calculations can be a real brain teaser, but we've got this!

Option D makes the most sense to me. I just hope I don't have to calculate DPMO for a living, that sounds like a real headache!

Haha, it's like they're trying to trick us with all these options! But I think D is the way to go. Gotta love those quality management formulas!

I'm not sure about this question. The DPMO formula looks a bit confusing, but I think I'll go with option D.

Option D seems like the correct answer, as it calculates the Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) based on the given information.
WI
Willetta

Yes, option D is the right choice for calculating DPMO in this scenario.
EM

I think option D is correct, it calculates the Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO).

But if you calculate DPMO using the formula, it should be D) 87 14 1,000,000.
MA
