ows the renter to either return the merchandise after a toward purchasing the item(s) (or clearly, the renter c orts that nationally 61% of the agreements result in the t in the merchandise being purchased, and the remain quired payments specified in the contract). At a local : 112 result in the merchandise being returned, 72 agre d and the remaining agreements are defaulted upon.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
![QUESTION 2
A rent-to-own agreement allows the renter to either return the merchandise after a specified period of time or
apply the monthly payments toward purchasing the item(s) (or clearly, the renter could default on the agreement).
A rent-to-own company reports that nationally 61% of the agreements result in the merchandise being returned,
30% of the agreements result in the merchandise being purchased, and the remaining agreements are defaulted on
(consumer does not make required payments specified in the contract). At a local rent-to-own company, a sample
of 221 agreements finds that 112 result in the merchandise being returned, 72 agreements result in the
merchandise being purchased and the remaining agreements are defaulted upon. When testing (at the 5% level of
significance) whether the proportions of the local company are different than the proportions nationally, what is
the critical value (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Feaf59d17-cf85-4266-ba75-564a08245235%2Fb6654406-8349-4768-8e24-d82f32d97d5a%2F6g5k3s_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

The objective is to test whether the proportions of the local company are different than through proportions nationally.
From the given scenario, it is clear that the test is Two- tailed test.
Here the proportion test is used, so that the z test is appropriate.
