In a 2019 Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters, 52% oppose making all U.S public colleges free. The Glangariff Group in Michigan collected data from 600 voters, where 342 support a taxpayer-funded free college program. What is the competing hypothesis? A) H₀:p = 0.52; H_A:p $\neq$ 0.52 B) H₀ = 0.51; HA$\neq$ 0.51 C) H₀:p = 0.51; H_A:p$\neq$0.51 D) H₀:p = 0.57; H_A:p $\neq$ 0.57

The competing hypothesis is the alternative hypothesis which suggests that the proportion (p) of support or opposition is different from the hypothesized value. Since the Quinnipiac University poll found that 52% oppose making U.S public colleges free, the null hypothesis would be p = 0.52, and the competing (alternative) hypothesis would be p ≠ 0.52, indicating that the proportion could be either less than or greater than 52%.
