Answer to Question 1

A Type I error is an error in which the researcher claims there is a difference when in reality there is no difference between the groups. Thus, this is similar to a false alarmclaiming that something is there when it is not. A Type II error is an error in which the researcher claims there is no difference between the groups being compared, when in reality there is. Thus, the researcher has missed a difference that is actually there.
