Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type II error is also known as a false negative, where the null hypothesis is not rejected when it is actually false. Beta is the probability of committing a Type II error, so option A is the closest and most appropriate answer. Alpha is related to Type I error, which is the rejection of the null hypothesis when it is actually true. Omega is not a commonly used term in hypothesis testing. Therefore, D) all of these, and E) none of these are not the best choices.
