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

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

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.
