In a 2012 survey, Gallup asked a random sample of U.S. adults if they would prefer to have a job outside the home or if they would prefer to stay home to care for the family and home. Of the 504 males they surveyed, 391 said that they would prefer to have a job outside of the home. Of the 473 females they surveyed, 254 said that they would prefer a job outside of the home.
Let Pm be the sample proportion of males who would prefer to have a job outside of the home.
Let Pf be the sample proportion of females who would prefer to have a job outside of the home.
Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of men and women who would prefer to have a job outside the home. Use three decimal places when computing the sample proportions and margin of error.
