The type I error and type II error can be described as follows:

Type I error: We can conclude that if the mean exceeds $85000, when in fact it does not. Thus, opening your restaurant in a locale that will not support it).

Type II error: We can conclude that if the mean income does not exceed $85000, when in fact it does. Thus, deciding not to open your restaurant in a locale that will support it.

What is a Type I and a Type II error?

A Type I error in statistics is described as rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true, and a Type II error is defined as failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is genuinely untrue.

The type I error and type II error can be described as follows:

  • Type I error: We can conclude that if the mean exceeds $85000, when in fact it does not.
  • Type II error: We can conclude that if the mean income does not exceed $85000, when in fact it does.

The consequences of each error are:

If you launched your business in an inappropriate location, you would incur a financial loss before realizing your error.

If you do not open your restaurant in an ideal location, you will miss out on the potential to make a profit, but you will not necessarily lose money.
