In statistical hypothesis testing, a Type II error consists of failing to reject an invalid null hypothesis (i.e. falsely accepting an invalid hypothesis).
The symbol for the probability of a Type II error is <math>\beta<math> (beta). The power of a statistical test is defined as <math>1 - \beta<math>. A test with high sensitivity will have fewer Type II errors.
