A local school board wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 30 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of households that would support starting the school year a week earlier?
