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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
type1 error is more dangerous
Dismental the calculator and press type 1 error there you got it( for any calculator
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.

diabetes are two type 1insulin dependent diabetes 2 non insulin dependent diabetes
The power of a test is 1 minus the probability of a Type II error.
No....the two are mirror images of each other. Reducing type I would increase type II
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.
