Explanation

Type II errors occur when we fail to reject a false null hypothesis. As a result, the researcher will incorrectly accept the null hypothesis and erroneously reject the alternative hypothesis. This commonly occurs when sample sizes are small. Larger sample sizes ensure that statistical measures will identify a practical difference when one truly exists.
