Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d). A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll,n=1079 and x=556 who said "yes." Use a 95% confidence level.

a) Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p.

b) Identify the value of the margin of error E.

c) Construct the confidence interval.

d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval.
