The null hypothesis ($H_0$) typically states that there is no effect or no difference, so it would assert that the proportion $p$ is equal to the stated value of 0.0016. The alternative hypothesis ($H_1$) represents the claim being tested, in this case, that fewer than 16 in ten thousand (or $p < 0.0016$) male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation.
