Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is false, but the sample data fail to reject it in favor of the alternative hypothesis. It is also called beta error. Type I error (A) occurs when the null hypothesis is true but is rejected. One-tailed error (C) refers to a directional hypothesis where the error can occur only on one side of the distribution. Two-tailed error (D) occurs when the error can occur on both sides of the distribution.
