Type I Error
Reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. This decision would be incorrect. Denoted H0
Type II Error
Do not reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true. Denoted H1
Alpha
P(Type I Error) = P(rejecting H0 when H0 is true)
Beta
P(Type II Error) = P(Not rejecting H0 when H1 is true)
P-value
A P-value is the probability of observing a sample statistic as extreme or more extreme than the one observed under the assumption that the statement in the null hypothesis is true.
The
The criterion is if P-value, reject the null hypothesis.
