Question

Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true is called a ________ error, whereas not rejecting a false null hypothesis is called a ________ error.
a. Type II; Type I
b. Type I; Type II
c. minor; major
d. significant; nonsignificant

Answer 1

Option b) is the correct answer.

A type I (false-positive) error occurs when an investigator rejects a null hypothesis that is actually true in the population; a type II (false-negative) error occurs when an investigator fails to reject a true null hypothesis.

Thus, rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true is referred to as a type | error, whereas failing to reject a false null hypothesis is referred to as a type || error.
