Answer

90% confidence interval: $0.050660\lt p_M-p_F\lt 0.089340$ Since the interval does not contain the zero, we reject the null hypothesis.

$H_0:~p_M=p_F$ versus $H_1:~p_M\ne p_F$ In MINITAB, select Stat -> Basic Statistics -> 2 Proportions Select "Summarized data" For Sample 1 (males) enter 840 in "Number of events" and 2800 in "Number of trials".
