Boardwalk Electronics manufactures 300,000 circuit boards per month. A random sample of 5,000 boards is inspected every week for seven characteristics. During a recent week, four defects were found for one characteristic, and three defects each were found for the other six characteristics. If these inspections produced defect counts that were representative of the population, what are the dpmo's for the individual characteristics and what is the overall dpmo for the boards? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. The dpmo for one characteristic:  The dpmo for each of the other 6 characteristics:  The overall dpmo for the boards:
