Key Concepts

Type II Error

A Type II error occurs when the statistical test fails to reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true, resulting in a false negative. This means the test incorrectly suggests that there is no effect or difference when one actually exists.

Alternative Hypothesis

The alternative hypothesis proposes that there is an effect or a difference, countering the null hypothesis. It reflects what the researcher seeks evidence for in a statistical test.

Null Hypothesis

The null hypothesis represents a default assumption about a population parameter, indicating that there is no effect or no difference. It is the statement that is assumed true until there is sufficient evidence to support an alternative claim.

Type I Error

A Type I error occurs when the statistical test incorrectly rejects the null hypothesis even though it is true, leading to a false positive conclusion. In other words, it is the error of detecting an effect that does not actually exist.
