8. A Gallup poll asked each of 1785 randomly selected adults whether she happened to attend a house of worship in the previous seven days. Of the respondents, 750 said "yes." Give a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults who claim that they attended a house of worship during the week preceding the poll. (The proportion who actually attended may be lower- some people say "yes" if they often attend, even if they didn't attend that particular week.) Determine the sample proportion p of those who answered "yes." Give your answer to 3 decimal places.
