WHAT DOES TYPE I ERROR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Type I and type II errors

In statistics, a null hypothesis is a statement that the thing being studied produces no effect or makes no difference. An example of a null hypothesis is the statement "This diet has no effect on people's weight." Usually an experimenter frames a null hypothesis with the intent of rejecting it: that is, intending to run an experiment which produces data that shows that the thing under study does make a difference. A type I error is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis. With respect to the non-null hypothesis, it represents a false positive. Usually a type I error leads one to conclude that a supposed effect or relationship exists when in fact it doesn't. Examples of type I errors include a test that shows a patient to have a disease when in fact the patient does not have the disease, a fire alarm going off indicating a fire when in fact there is no fire or an experiment indicating that a medical treatment should cure a disease when in fact it does not. A type II error is the failure to reject a false null hypothesis. With respect to the non-null hypothesis, it represents a false negative.
