False Negative is the name of a result that occurs when the sample or environmental condition is reported not to contain an analyte, microorganism, etc., when the sample actually does.
A False Negative Decision Error is a result that occurs when the decision maker accepts the null hypothesis (baseline condition) when it is really false; also called a Type II error.
The False Positive is a result that occurs when a sample is reported to contain an analyte, microorganism, etc., when it actually does not contain the analyte.
A False Positive Decision Error is a result that occurs as a decision maker rejects the null hypothesis (baseline condition) when it is really true; also called a Type I error.
The False Rejection Decision Error is a result that occurs when a decision maker rejects the null hypothesis (baseline condition) when it is really true; also known as a Type I error. Occasionally may be called a false positive decision error.
