Compare and contrast Type I and Type II errors.
What will be an ideal response?
Type I errors threaten our ability to conclude that there is an association. Type I error is
easy to calculate as it is equal to the alpha level you chose as a criterion for statistical
significance or the p value produced as part of an analysis computed by statistical
software. A Type II error is committed when we have concluded that there is no
relationship based on our one sample, but in fact there is a relationship between the two
variables in the population we sampled.
