Question

Testing for Alzheimer's disease can be a long and expensive process. Recently, a group of researchers devised a 7min test to serve as a quick screen for the disease. A patient who tested positive would then go through the more expensive battery of tests and medical diagnosis. The authors reported a false positive rate of 4% and a false negative rate of 8%
A) Put this in context of a hypothesis test. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
B)What would a Type 1 error mean?
C)What would a Type 2 error mean?
D)Which would be worse? Explain

Any help on this would be really appreciated! I missed school all last week and didn't get to learn this so I'm really lost. Thanks! =]
