Type I error = Illusion (you are seeing an effect when there is not one)
Type 2 error = 2 blind 2 see (you are failing to see an effect when there is one)

I've named Type I error "Crying Type I" (while it shouldn't be crying) and Type II error "Chilled Type II" (while it shouldn't be chilled). Now I can instantly remember which is which! Thank you!

tbh its easier to learn it like this than to learn the stupid chart

[@Fahan-y7z]

this is point of view from H1. Type 1 being we accept H1 even though it is not true. Type 2 on the other hand is rejecting H1 even though H1 is true.
