occurs if a test rejects the null when the null is true. that is, the test finds convincing evidence that the alternative hypothesis is true when it really isn’t

type II error
occurs if a test fails to reject the null when the null is true. that is, the test does not find convincing evidence that the alternative hypothesis is true when it is

as sample size increases
test power: increases
type I: stays the same
type II: decreases

probability of a type I error
the significance level is the probability of a type I error
New cards
5
probability of a type II error
a type II error is inversely related to the probability of a type I error

conclusion
because our p-value is 0.637 > a = 0.05, we fail to reject the null. there is not convincing evidence that the true proportion of \[context\] differs from 25%

7
when the p-value is less than the significance value
we reject the null

8
when the p-value is more than the significance value
