Type I or Type II Errors

Question

What are the differences between Type I and Type II Errors?

Answer 1

Null Hypothesis: There is no significant relationship between two variables (X and Y)

Alternate Hypothesis: There is a significant relationship between two variables (X and Y)

Type I Error: The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis (no significant relationship) when there is no significant relationship.

Type II Error: The probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis (no significant relationship) when a significant relationship exists.
