Question

Discuss errors that can be made when doing a hypothesis test

Expert Solution

Step 1

There are two types of errors a researcher can make while testing a Hypothesis : Type I and Type II error

Type 1 error occurs when we reject a null hypothesis when it is true. Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is accepted when it is not true.

Let say :

Null Hypothesis : The coins you have in your bag are fair

Alternate : The coins you have in your bag are not fair

Type 1 error is rejecting that The coins you have in your bag are fair when in actual they are

Type II error is accepting that The coins you have in your bag are fair when in actual they are not

Refer to the below given chart of Type 1 and type 2 errors
