A school cafeteria can close the serving line when a nut-allergen alarm fires. A false alarm dumps good food. A missed real allergen leaves the line open. Which pairing names those errors in plain language?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of a fire alarm in the cafeteria. A false alarm dumps good food (Type I, false positive). A quiet alarm when the allergen is real is the miss (Type II, false negative). The room does not swap those names, and they are not RMSE and MAE.
Full Explanation
A Type I error is a false positive: the alarm fires and the allergen is not there, which wastes food. A Type II error is a false negative: the alarm stays quiet and the allergen is there, which is the safety miss. The labels are not swapped, and the room type does not change them. Type I and Type II are not names for regression metrics.
