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]
