USA Today (February 16, 2012) reported that the percentage of U.S. residents living in poverty was 12.5% for men and 15.1% for women.

For purposes of this exercise, suppose that the sample sizes were 1200 for the sample of men and 1000 for the sample of women. Use the survey data to compute and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion living in poverty for men and women.
