Question: Given a particular research question and a particular study conducted to test that question, is it possible to commit either a Type I or a Type II error? Are both possible, is only one possible, or is neither possible? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Either a Type I error is possible or a Type II error is possible. Both cannot be possible because this depends on what is objectively true. A Type I error is only possible if H0 is true, which a Type II error is only possible if H1 is true. Thus, in any given situation, only one of these errors is possible or a correct decision will be made.
