Experimental Research Questions
In experimental research, Type I error refers to a false positive result or a false rejection of the null hypothesis. It occurs when the researcher concludes that there is a significant effect or relationship between variables when, in reality, there is no such effect or relationship in the population being studied. In other words, Type I error is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis. This error is also known as a "false alarm" or a "false positive." It is important to minimize Type I error as it can lead to incorrect conclusions and waste of resources.
