May or may not help. I used this technique to remember this.
You never accept the null.
So you either reject the null or fail to reject the null on a false or true hypothesis. Remember type 1 error uses less words and letters because it comes first.
1. reject ....true
2. fail to reject ... false作者: cyber21 时间: 2011-7-13 16:15

This is the same technique I use!作者: kamara5 时间: 2011-7-13 16:15
Think of a criminal trial.
Null hypothesis = Defendant is innocent. Alternate = Defendant is guilty.
Type I = Innocent defendant is found guilty. Very bad.
Type II = Guilty defendant is set free. Less bad.
