Value 0

Definition

When a confidence interval for the difference of two population means contains the value 0, it suggests that there is no significant difference between the means of the two populations. It implies that any observed difference is likely due to random sampling variability and not a true difference.

Type I Error: A type I error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis when it's actually true, meaning we mistakenly believe there's a significant effect or relationship.
