Answer: The alternate hypothesis would disprove the null hypothesis and state that there are a significant difference in preferences/proportions between the two villages.
For instance, let's say:
p₁ = proportion of preference from Dobbs Ferry
p₂ = proportion of preference from Irvington
The null hypothesis would be that p₁ = p₂, while the alternative hypothesis would be that p₁ ≠ p₂.
