Roger is a scientist who is developing a new drug to cure cancer. He lists five possible ways in which the drug might fail. He ranks the severity of the consequences of each failure, the likelihood of each failure's occurrence, and the ease of detection of each failure on a scale of 1 to 10. In the context of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, which of the following failures has the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN)?
Failure one with a severity of 4, a likelihood of 4, and an ease of detection of 7
Failure one with a severity of 5, a likelihood of 5, and an ease of detection of 6
Failure one with a severity of 2, a likelihood of 4, and an ease of detection of 7
