Abstract

The purpose of this article is to develop a program for teaching Type I and Type II errors in one sample. In this program, the concepts of two errors are visually explained, and the probabilities of two errors are also visually displayed as the rejection region changes or the sample size changes. Also, in this program, the power curve and the operating characteristic curve are visually displayed in terms of the parameter value of interest.
