This condition is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
