Type I error is The probability level at which you are willing to be wrong when failing to reject Ho (the Null Hypothesis). Referred to as Beta The probability level at which you are willing to be wrong when rejecting Ho (the Null Hypothesis) A theoretical distribution

A type I error is the Pr(reject H0 | H0 is true).

make this error is called the Type I error rate. The probability of making a Type I error is denoted by the symbol α (alpha). In hypothesis testing, α is typically set at a predetermined level, such as 0.05 or 0.01, to control the risk of making a Type I error. On the other hand, a Type II error occurs when you fail to certify the meat when it is actually unfit for human consumption. This error is denoted by the symbol β (beta). The probability of making a Type II error is influenced by factors such as the sample size, the effect size, and the chosen significance level (α). The complement of β, which is 1 - β, is called the power of the test. The power of a test represents the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. To summarize, a Type I error corresponds to certifying the meat as safe when it is actually unfit for human consumption. A Type II error corresponds to failing to certify the meat as unfit when it is actually unfit for human consumption. Both errors have implications for the accuracy and reliability of the meat inspection process.
