A test to screen for a serious but curable disease is similar to hypothesis testing, with a null hypothesis of no disease, and an alternative hypothesis of disease. If the null hypothesis is rejected treatment will be given. Otherwise, it will not. Assuming the treatment does not have serious side effects, in this scenario it is better to increase the probability of:

A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for μd = average difference between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a two-sided alternative) can be rejected?
