Express the null hypothesis $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$ and the alternative hypothesis $\mathrm { H } _ { 1 }$ in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol ( $\mu , \mathrm { p }$, $\sigma$ )for the indicated parameter.
-A researcher claims that $62 \%$ of voters favor gun control.
A) $\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{H}_{0}: \mathrm{p} \geq 0.62 \
\mathrm{H}_{1}: \mathrm{p}<0.62
\end{array}$

B) $\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{H}_{0}: \mathrm{p}<0.62 \
\mathrm{H}_{1}: \mathrm{p} \geq 0.62
\end{array}$

C) $\begin{array}{l}
H_{0}: p \neq 0.62 \
H_{1}: p=0.62
\end{array}$

D) $\begin{array}{l}
H_{0}: p=0.62 \
H_{1}: p \neq 0.62
\end{array}$

The null hypothesis ($H_0$) represents the status quo or the claim to be tested, which is that 62% of voters favor gun control ($p = 0.62$). The alternative hypothesis ($H_1$) represents the opposite of the null, indicating that the percentage is different from 62% ($p \neq 0.62$).
