Question
If a medical test says someone ____, this is a type 1 error.
Answer
If a medical test says someone does have a disease, but the person actually does not, this is a type 1 error.
Type 1 error = false positive
These errors draw upon reality of the situation (y-axis) vs our perceived conclusion (x-axis).
Type 1: We draw a positive perceived conclusion to a negative reality, we have now rejected the null hypothesis incorrectly: because null was true.
Type 2: We draw a negative perceived conclusion to a positive reality, we have now accepted the null hypothesis incorrectly: because null was false.
