Definitions:

Level of Significance

The threshold at which the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis in statistical testing, indicating the probability of making a Type I error.

Type II Error

A Type II Error occurs when a statistical test fails to reject a false null hypothesis, falsely indicating no effect or difference when one exists.

Level of Significance

The probability threshold below which the null hypothesis is rejected in hypothesis testing.

Probability

A mathematical measurement of the likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
