Answer to Question #105692 in Statistics and Probability for suresh

Question

Type II error

A> Is also known as False positive
B> Is rejecting a true null hypothesis
C> Both 1 and 2 are correct
D> Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The answer is d) Neither 1 nor 2

The definition of type 2 error is that we are making an error by not rejecting a false hypothesis.

So, B is wrong.

Since the hypothesis is a negative one in this case which we are failing to reject so this error is also known as False Negative error. So, A is also wrong.
