Hello from Steved

The objective is how many complaints per 100,000 passengers

949,343 passengers in Cell G35
52 complaints in Cell G43
The formula is =G43*100000/G35 in Cell G45 giving me a total off
5 complaints per 100000 passengers

Thankyou.

Hello Mike H from Steved

Thankyou

600702 and 59 complaints gives me the total "10" per 100000
418981 and 59 complaints gives me the total "14" per 100000

I would have thought 600702 would be higher

Am I missing something here It is very early in the morning

Thankyou.

The answer is absolutely correct.

Consider 2 scenarios

1 complaint every 10 customers
1 complaint every 20 customers

Which one is better?

Of course the second one. The defect rate for first one is 10% and the
defect rate for second one is 5%.

larger number of customers and same number of complaints means a better
process.
