Comparing the efficacy of two drugs


Discussion:

Q: A randomized trial comparing the efficacy of two drugs showed a difference between the two (with a P value < .05). Assume that in reality, however, the two drugs do not differ. This is therefore an example of a Type I error. Why is it NOT a Type II error? Is it because Type II error are defined as decision: conclude treatments are not different, but in type II errors the treatments are really different?
