first quartile (Q1)
100
Stating that the null was false when it was indeed true.
Type I error
200
The most occurring item(s) in the data set.
Mode
200
When a distribution’s mode = median = mean, it is said to be distributed this way.
Normally distributed
200
The median of the upper half of data is called the
3rd quartile (Q3).
200
A z-score of zero always means that
the raw score is equal to the mean
200
Lower alpha increases the chances of making this error.
Type II error
300
The middle of the dataset.
