The null hypothesis ($H_0$) represents the status quo or a statement of no effect, which in this case is that the proportion of voters favoring gun control is 62% ($p = 0.62$). The alternative hypothesis ($H_1$) represents the researcher's claim that the proportion is different from 62% ($p \neq 0.62$).
