Consider the three station process shown below. The probability of a part being defective at station 1 is P 1 and at station 2 is P 2 and at station 3 is P 3. All defects from stations 1 and 2 are scrapped. Defects from station 3 are scrapped with probability Q3, reworked at station 1 with probability Q1, and reworked at station 2 with probability Q2. Let I denote the input into station 1(also labeled as "Raw Materials" in the figure) and let O denote the total output of good parts from station 3.

Represent the total steady state output (O) of the process as a function of I,P1,P2,P3,Q1,Q2, and Q3. Show this expression on your work paper that you submit.
Assume the following values for the parameters. P1=0.10,P2=0.20,P3=0.30,Q1=0.5,Q2=0.25, and Q3=0.25
For these parameter values what value of I is needed to get an output value of 100? Submit that value as your final answer, submit a decimal value with one digit after the decimal point.
