a 95% CI for a proportion p is:

pHat +- 1.96*Sqrt(pHat(1-pHat)/(n))

now, this is a standard method, there is a better method but the sample size here will make it irrelevant. the 1.96 is the standard score from the standard normal distribution such that 95% of the data is between -1.96 and +1.96.

0.29 +- 1.96*Sqrt(0.29*(1-0.29)/1025) =

{0.26222, 0.31778}
