When you conduct an A/B test, your goal is to determine whether a new variant (B) is truly different from the control (A) based on the data you collect. However, your conclusion can be incorrect for two main reasons: you might detect a difference when there is none (**Type I error**, or "false positive"), or you might miss a real difference (**Type II error**, or "false negative"). To identify which error - if any - has occurred, you must compare the real-world truth (whether a true effect exists) with the outcome of your statistical test (whether you declared a significant effect).

If your test finds a significant result when no real effect exists, you have made a **Type I error**. If your test fails to find a significant result when a real effect does exist, you have made a **Type II error**. If your conclusion matches the reality (either correctly detecting a real effect or correctly concluding there is none), you have made a **correct decision**. Understanding these scenarios is crucial for interpreting the practical implications of your tests and for making informed business decisions based on your findings.
