Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Ideally, we would like to have the probabilities of both types of errors be as small as possible. However, there is a trade-off between the probabilities of the two types of errors. Given a particular sample, any reduction in the probability of Type I error, , will result in an increase in the probability of Type II error, , and vice versa, although it is not a direct linear substitution.
