Answer 1: If there are many simulations, any outcome can occur just by chance. If a statistically significant outcome causes the rejection of the true null hypothesis (that the shape of the underlying population is described accurately by the expected frequencies), a type I error occurs. Answer 2: Once again, any outcome can occur just by chance. If a non-statistically significant outcome causes the retention of the false null hypothesis (i.e., the shape of the underlying population is described accurately by the expected frequencies), a type II error occurs. |
