Type 1 and type 2 errors errors, false

sabre

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

That's really good! I'm still struggling with this, just doesnt seem to stick. I'll use your shortcut. Thanks for sharing!

This is the same technique I use!

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.

I can help with another tip:

Type 1: rejeCt the true ( 1 C)

Type 2: aCCept the false (2C) ( Fail to reject)

Hope this helps
