Q:

In a survey funded by the UW school of medicine, 750 of 1000 adult Seattle residents said they did not believe they could come down with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Construct a 95% confidence interval estimage of the proportion of adult Seattle residents who don't believe they can contract an STI. (Use a z score of 1.96 for your computations.)
