Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

a. A Type II error has been committed, which is a very costly error. You are being told you are OK when you really have the virus, and you are going untreated.
b. This is a false alarm, and a Type I error. A Type I error causes undue worry on behalf of the person taking the test, and could cause some treatments to occur that shouldn't.
c. With a Type II error you are letting people with the virus go unnoticed, and hence untreated. With a Type I error you falsely tell them they have the virus. This can cause undue worry but it is certainly not as bad of a problem as letting someone go on not knowing they have the virus. A Type II error is the worst in this situation.
