A sample of 2,845 auto workers was selected to learn if they would go on strike.
Over 50% of those in the sample declared they would strike.
We can assume that the majority of all auto workers favor a strike. This is true because, in the sample, it is declared that 50% of workers would strike.
And this sample represents the whole majority or population. Hence we can say that a majority of all auto workers favor a strike.
