Ans 4: Type I and Type II Error in Hypothesis Testing In hypothesis basically there are two kinds of errors are

occurred. 1) Type I Error 2) Type II Error When a hypothesis is tested, there are four possibilities are occurred: 1) The hypothesis is true but our test leads to its rejection. 2) The hypothesis is false but our test leads to its acceptance. ) The hypothesis is true and our test leads to its acceptance. !) The hypothesis is false and our test leads to its rejection. The first two possibilities lead to errors. If we reject a hypothesis when it should be accepted "possibility 1), we say that a type I error has been #ade. $n the other hand, if we accept a hypothesis when it should be rejected "possibility 2), we say that a type two error has been #ade. The followin% table %i&es an idea about the Type I and Type II Errors.
H0 is true H0 is false Accept H0 'o Error Type II Error Reject H0 Type I Error 'o Error

Type I Error Type I Error is co##itted when we reject a correct or true hypothesis. Type I Error "of rejectin% a null hypothesis when it is true) is denoted by . Thus ( )robability of Type I Error ( )robability of rejectin% *+ when *+ is true. Type II Error Type II Error is co##itted when we accept a wron% or incorrect hypothesis. Type II Error "of acceptin% a null hypothesis when it is not true) is denoted by . Thus ( )robability of Type II Error ( )robability of acceptin% *+ when *+ is not true. If the difference between two #eans is ,ero and if test indicated rejection of the null hypothesis we co##it Type I error. If on the other hand the difference between two #eans is not ,ero but our test su%%ests acceptance of null hypothesis we co##it Type II error. +&ariance-f(false
