Type-ii-error is the statistical error of failing to reject a null hypothesis when it is actually false — a false negative. Its parameters are: (1) the false null hypothesis (the state of nature contradicts H₀), (2) the test statistic and its sampling distribution, (3) the rejection region determined by the significance level α, and (4) the probability of this error, denoted β. It persists through statistical practice as a design parameter: researchers control β (and thus power = 1−β) through sample size planning.

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves type-ii-error: states what it is (false negative in hypothesis testing), parameters (false null, failure to reject), and persistence mechanism (statistical practice). Has the required trailer.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly identifies Type-II error as false negative. Parameters are clear (false null, failing to reject). Has the Law 6 trailer. Carves well.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition correctly carves parameters (false null, test power, alpha). States persistence mechanism. Trailer present.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition carves: identifies two parameters (false null hypothesis, incorrect decision). Ends with trailer. Clear and specific.
