While wandering in jungle, King Dushyant married Shankuntala as narrated in the "Abhigyan Shankuntalam". He gave her royal ring which could serve her identity when she would come to meet him, in future. However, she had lost the ring while going to meet him. When she arrived at Dushyant's palace, he failed to recognise her as she did not have the ring.
Which of the following statistical error King Dushyant had committed in this narrative?
Type 1 Error
Type 2 Error
Sampling Error
Non Sampling Error
An investigator commits type II error when he/she
rejects a null hypothesis when it is true
accepts a null hypothesis when it is true
accepts a null hypothesis when it is false
rejects a null hypothesis when it is false
