Question

Type I Error - Is a type I error or a Type II error worse?

Answer

When looking at statistics, a Type I mistake is usually considered more serious. Nevertheless, in real-world situations, the degree to which Type I and Type II mistakes manifest might differ according to the specific study setting. A Type I mistake occurs when the null hypothesis's main statistical assumption is falsely contradicted.
