Best Answer

Type I error happens when a difference is being observed when in truth, there is none or there is no statistically significant difference. This error is also known as false positive.

Relationship between type 1 error and type 2 error?

In statistics, there are two types of errors for hypothesis tests: Type 1 error and Type 2 error. Type 1 error is when the null hypothesis is rejected, but actually true. It is often called alpha. An example of Type 1 error would be a "false positive" for a disease. Type 2 error is when the null hypothesis is not rejected, but actually false. It is often called beta. An example of Type 2 error would be a "false negative" for a disease. Type 1 error and Type 2 error have an inverse relationship. The larger the Type 1 error is, the smaller the Type 2 error is. The smaller the Type 2 error is, the larger the Type 2 error is. Type 1 error and Type 2 error both can be reduced if the sample size is increased.

What is in a bug?

A bug is an error in a program. If you make a mistake in your code or type and it doesn't work properly or crashes, the error that causes it is known as a bug.


Changing the alpha level to .05 from .01 what does it do to the risk of Type 1 error?

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.


Type 1 error and type 2 error?

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.

When parity detects an error what happens?

A parity error always causes the system to hault. On the screen, you see the error message parity error 1 (parity error on the motherboard) or parity error 2 (parity error on an expansion card)


What combination of factors produces the smallest risk of a type 1 error?

A combination of factors increase the risk of a Type 1 error. Giving the wrong amount or wrong diagnosis for a wrong drug would certainly increase an error.

Is there a direct relationship between the power of a test and the probability of a Type II error?

The power of a test is 1 minus the probability of a Type II error.


If the probability of type 1 error is reduced the probability of type 2 error is also reduced?

No....the two are mirror images of each other. Reducing type I would increase type II
