Ho: There is no difference in treatment methods.
Type I error: Ho is true but we conclude that it is false

There is no difference in treatment methods, but we make the mistake of
concluding that there is a difference.

----------------

Type II error: Ho is false but we conclude that it is true

There is a difference in treatment methods, but we make the mistake of
concluding that there is no difference.
