In our research we use the PPMY index to compare the reliability of vehicles. The PPMY index of a certain model is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. The total sales of the 2000 Chevrolet Prizm in the United States are 38,921 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Chevrolet Prizm owners in the last 22 years is 24, and the age of the vehicle is 22, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
