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.)
