• Criterion: Differentiate between Type 1      and Type 2 error.
• Data: It is an established fact that in      the general population, men weigh more on average than women. In a study,      you randomly sample 100 men and 100 women, you record each participant’s      weight, and you find that there is no significant difference in weight      based on gender.
• Instruction: Answer the      following:

• Given that a difference       really does exist in the population, what type of error is this (Type 1       or Type 2)? Explain your answer.

Problem Set 3.7: Errors and Significance: Type 1 and Type 2 Error

• Criterion: Differentiate between Type 1      and Type 2 error.
• Data: In general, men and women do not      differ on IQ. However, as part of your study, you found that women scored      significantly higher than men on IQ.
• Instruction: Answer the      following:

• Given       that you found a difference in your study where none exists in the       general population, identify the error (Type 1 or Type 2) and explain       your answer.
