***Poll Analysis and Confidence Interval Calculation***In a recent poll, 396 out of 500 randomly selected voters expressed their preference for a particular candidate. To understand the reliability of this data, we need to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, denoted as \( p \).### Steps to Calculate:1. **Sample Proportion (\( \hat{p} \)):** \[ \hat{p} = \frac{396}{500} \]2. **Standard Error (SE):** \[ SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}} \] where \( n = 500 \).3. **Z-Score for 90% Confidence:** Typically, the Z-score for a 90% confidence interval is 1.645.4. **Confidence Interval Calculation:** \[ \text{Confidence Interval} = \hat{p} \pm (Z \times SE) \]**Enter your calculations in the boxes provided to find the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval for \( p \):**\[ \boxed{\_\_} \leq p \leq \boxed{\_\_}\]This process helps determine the range within which we can confidently state the true population proportion falls, given the sample data.

Ten engineering schools in a country were surveyed. The sample contained 225electrical engineers, 80 being women; 175 chemical engineers, 40 being women. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women in these two fields of engineering. Is there a significant difference between the two proportions? Let p1 be the population proportion of electrical engineers that are women in the schools that were surveyed and let p2 be the population proportion of chemical engineers that are women in the schools that were surveyed. The 90% confidence interval is nothing<p1−p2<nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
