The Wall Street Journal Recently Ran an Article Indicating Differences

question 226

Short Answer

The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article indicating differences in perception of sexual harassment on the job between men and women. The article claimed that women perceived the problem to be much more prevalent than did men. One question asked to both men and women was: "Do you think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace?" 24% of the men compared to 62% of the women responded "Yes." Suppose that 150 women and 200 men were interviewed. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of women and men who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace.
