My careful physical examination shows no evidence of any serious problem," said Doctor Morpheus. "However, a very costly lab test can be performed to check for the rare condition known as estomalgia fatalis. The test is almost invariably negative for persons with your age and symptoms. My personal hypothesis is that the occasional stomach pain you reported is due to indigestion caused by eating tacos with too much hot sauce. But you must decide for yourself." As you consider your doctor's hypothesis, what would be the consequence of Type I error on your part?

a. Your estomalgia fatalis will go undetected.

b. You will waste money on an unnecessary lab test.

c. It can't be determined without knowing the type of test.

d. Your survivors will enjoy a sizeable malpractice award.
