See link. My answer goes a bit beyond your question. If the null hypothesis is right (which is our initial assumption is correct), then we should of course accept it. If our data has convinced us to reject the null hypotheis, that is in actuality correct, we have committed a type 1 error. This is a valid definition both in life situation and in statistical hypothesis testing. It is the a question of how much data do you need to convince you to change an opinion (a prior assumption). Type 1 errors are committed when people jump to conclusions based on little data. In situations where it is better to be extra cautious, such as a smoke detector goes off, that we need little data to change our initial opinion (building not on fire), because the harm in a type 1 error is far outweighed by the good if the alternative hypothesis is true (building on fire!). So fire alarm goes off and we leave the building. Type 2 errors is when you need a lot of convincing before you change your opinion, or you fail to reject the null hypothesis (building not on fire) when it is false (alternative hypothesis, building on fire). In the fire, you don't leave until you see more data, ie. flames. Big mistake if there's no time left to leave. The Swine Flu epidemic offers an excellent example where type 1 errors (false positives) are much preferred over type 2 errors (false negatives). Are Type 2 error consequences worse? No. Suppose you are on trial. You would hope that the jurors would minimize type 1 error as they are suppose to do, at the risk of committing a type 2 error (free a guilty man).
A null hypothesis states that there is no relationship between two or more variables being studied. The assumption in science is that the null hypothesis is true until sufficient evidence emerges, though statistical testing, to reject the null and support an alternative hypothesis. The exact statistical test depends on the number and type of variables being tested, but all statistical hypothesis tests result in a probability value (p). Generally, the null is rejected when p < .05 representing less than a 5% chance that the relationship between the variables is due to error. This cutoff - called alpha - can be set lower in certain fields or studies, but rarely is set higher.
A hypothesis for paper chromatography depends on what you are making the hypothesis on. A hypothesis for the speed of chromatography could be that you think the speed of the process can be changed depending on the type of paper, or whatever the stationary phase is, and the type of solvent being used.

The radium cation is Ra2+.
I believe a varying sample size detects a constant error which is a type of systematic error.
An alpha error is another name in statistics for a type I error, rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true.
A beta error is another term for a type II error, an instance of accepting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false.
Rejecting a true null hypothesis.
A Type I error is committed whenever a true null hypothesis is rejected. A Type II error is committed whenever a false null hypothesis is accepted. The best way to explain this is by an example. Suppose a company develops a new drug. The FDA has to decide whether or not the new drug is safe. The null hypothesis here is that the new drug is not safe. A Type I error is committed when a true null hypothesis is rejected, e.g. the FDA concludes that the new drug is safe when it is not. A Type II error occurs whenever a false null hypothesis is accepted, e.g. the drug is declared unsafe, when in fact it is safe. Hope this helps.

If the type 1 error has a probability of 01 = 1, then you will always reject the null hypothesis (false positive) - even when the evidence is wholly consistent with the null hypothesis.
In statistics: type 1 error is when you reject the null hypothesis but it is actually true. Type 2 is when you fail to reject the null hypothesis but it is actually false.

There are two types of errors associated with hypothesis testing. Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected when it is true. Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is not rejected when it is false. H0 is referred to as the null hypothesis and Ha (or H1) is referred to as the alternative hypothesis.
This will reduce the type 1 error. Since type 1 error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true, decreasing alpha (or p value) decreases the risk of rejecting the null hypothesis.
It means that, if the null hypothesis is true, there is still a 1% chance that the outcome is so extreme that the null hypothesis is rejected.
