    Question

      Type I error occurs when

    A Null hypothesis wrongly accepted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Null Hypothesis is wrongly rejected Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C It has no relation with Null Hypothesis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Either a or b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The process of distinguishing between the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis is aided by considering two conceptual types of errors. The first type of error occurs when the null hypothesis is wrongly rejected. The second type of error occurs when the null hypothesis is wrongly not rejected. (The two types are known as type 1 and type 2 errors.)
