An entomologist claims that fewer than 21 in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation. Assuming that a hypothesis test is conducted to test this claim, identify the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis Ha. The parameter p represents the true proportion of fireflies unable to produce light. Ho: p < 0.0021 H₁: p= 0.0021 Ho: p=0.0021 H₁: p > 0.0021 Ho: p > 0.0021 H₁: p = 0.0021 Ho: p≥ 0.0021 H₁: p < 0.0021
