What is the significance of type I and type II errors? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
89 chars

Generation

Type I error (false positive) occurs when you reject a true null hypothesis, while Type II error (false negative) occurs when you fail to reject a false null hypothesis. These errors represent fundamental trade-offs in hypothesis testing—reducing one typically increases the other. Understanding both is crucial for setting appropriate significance levels and ensuring statistical conclusions balance the risks of incorrect decisions.
