  1. Alright, future engineers!
    **Type I Error (alpha):** Rejecting a true null hypothesis (a false positive).
    Ex: Concluding a new material is unsafe when it actually meets specs.
    Pro-Tip: Balancing Type I (alpha) and Type II (beta) errors is crucial in your design & testing decisions!

  2. Alright, future engineers!
    **P-value** is the probability of observing results as extreme as yours *if the null hypothesis is true*.
    Ex: If P < 0.05, we often reject the null.
    Pro-Tip: A low P-value means strong evidence *against* the null, not that it's impossible!
