I have to put it that way to keep it straight. Both Qx and I have trouble keeping it straight with TYPE I and TYPE II errors.

A false negative error is when you believe that something is not true but it actually is true.

It comes out of hypothesis testing, confidence levels etc.

So what’s a false positive error? I’m not sciencey.
