Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol $( \mu , p , \sigma )$ for the indicated parameter.

The null hypothesis $H_0$ represents the status quo or a statement of no effect, which is $p = 0.0016$. The alternative hypothesis $H_1$ represents the claim that fewer than 16 in ten thousand fireflies are affected, which is $p < 0.0016$.
