Find the null and alternative hypotheses, Type I and Type II Error and determine whether the alternative hypothesis is directional or non-directional

A researcher is interested in studying whether infants can show empathy toward adults. She randomly assigns each infant to sit in a room with an adult who is pretending to cry or to sit in a room with an adult who is not showing any emotion and measures how distressed the infants become.  She believes that they will become more distressed in rooms with crying adults than in rooms where the adult is not showing emotion.
