  • Significance level
  • Probability of rejecting H0 when H0 is true
  • Usually set at α=0.05 or α=0.01

  •  Experimental hypothesis
  • The population parameter differs from H0
  • When H0 can be rejected, it does not mean that H1 can be accepted, because of the remaining probability of α- and β-error
