To express the original claim in symbolic form, we need to define a parameter that represents the proportion of homes that have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone.

Let $$ p $$ be the proportion of homes that have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone.

The original claim states that fewer than $$ 10.2\% $$ of homes have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone. In symbolic form, this can be expressed as:

$$
p < 0.102
$$

This means that the proportion $$ p $$ is less than $$ 0.102 $$.
Let $$ p $$ be the proportion of homes with only a landline telephone and no wireless phone. The claim is that $$ p < 0.102 $$.
