On your TI graphing calculator.

Press STAT
Press the right arrow key twice to HIGHLIGHT TESTS

Scroll down to    1-PropZInt...

Press ENTER

Make the next screen read:

                        1-PropZInt
                    x:25
                    n:70
                    C-Level:0.95
                    Calculate

Then use the down arrow to highlight Calculate
and press ENTER.

You will see

                       1-PropZInt
                     (.2449,.46939)
                     p-hat =.3571428571
                     n=70

Go by what's on the second line, which is interval notation
form for

           0.2449 < p < .46939

Round those to three decimal places.
