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 2011 Lincoln MKT in the United States are 4,259 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Lincoln MKT owners in the last 12 years is 25, and the age of the vehicle is 12, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
