Answer: 0.76
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the sample proportion is the best estimate of the population proportion. (1)
Given : Gallup reported that of the 1,005 people surveyed, 76% of U.S. workers believe that they will continue working past retirement age.
Let p be the population proportion.
We have sample proportion: [tex]\hat{p}=76\%=0.76[/tex]
Therefore, the estimated proportion of U.S. workers believe that they will continue working past retirement age from the sample = [tex]\hat{p}=0.76[/tex]
