Refresh my memory. Type II errors are false negatives?

[Quix]

Yeah, I can get them switched, too.

A TYPE II ERROR

is

NOT

REJECTING THE NULL HYPOTHESIS

WHEN

IT IS FALSE

---

NULL SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THERE.

IF

THERE IS SOMETHING THERE

and the decision is to believe NOTHING IS THERE

THEN you have a TYPE II ERROR.

So, a false negative is a fair way of stating it.

Thanks for asking.

I have to think it through at least every third time.

LOL.
