Answer:

You can claim that the majority of people are not in favor of legalized abortion.

39% < p < 49%

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the study can be calculated as:

44% - 5% < p < 44% + 5%

39% < p < 49%

Where p is the percentage of people that are in favor of legalized abortion and 5% is the error attributable to sampling.

Since the upper limit of the confidence interval is 49% (less than 50%), you can claim that a majority of people are not in favor of legalized abortion.
