What is the probability that we are rejecting a true null hypothesis when we reject the hypoth- esized value because

What is the probability that we are rejecting a true null hypothesis when we reject the hypoth- esized value because (a) The sample statistic differs from it by more than 2.15 standard errors in either direction? (b) The value of the sample statistic is more than 1.6 standard errors above it? (c) The value of the sample statistic is more than 2.33 standard errors below it?
