Question

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true is called:

Answer 1

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true is called type I error.

• Type I error can be described as an error in which a null hypothesis is rejected even though the hypothesis was true.
• Type I error is also referred to as alpha α error.
• The other type of error is referred to as type II Error. In this error, a null hypothesis is not rejected even though the null hypothesis is not correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

The final answer is Type I error

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

To Find: The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis

Explanation:

When we do a hypothesis test, there are two types of errors: type I and type II. The risks of these errors are inversely related.

• When the null hypothesis is true and we reject it, we create type I error.

• When the null hypothesis is false and we fail to reject it, we create type II error.
• α is called bound on Type I error and β is called bound on type II error.
