What is it: Hypothesis testing of the Population Mean with Type 1 and Type 2 errors generally involves four steps:
Formulating a hypothesis about the population
Collecting a sample of observations from the population
Calculating statistics based on the sample
Either accepting or rejecting the hypothesis based on a predetermined acceptance criterion
There are two type of errors associated with the mean testing:
Type 1 error (alpha error) - The probability that a hypothesis that is actually true will be rejected. The value of alpha is known as the significance level of the test.
Type 2 error (beta error) - The probability that a hypothesis that is actually false will be accepted. Type 2 errors are often plotted in an operating characteristics curve.
