A sports psychologist conducted an observational study in a local fitness center to investigate whether playing high-energy electronic music in the reception area (compared to low-tempo ambient music) influenced visitors to sign up for a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) taster session. Over a one-week period, the psychologist recorded the registration choices of both existing gym members and non-members under both music conditions.
The data showing the frequency of HIIT taster session registrations is presented in the table below:
| Existing Members | Non-Members | |
|---|---|---|
| High-Energy Electronic Music | 42 | 18 |
| Ambient Music (Control) | 25 | 14 |
Explain what it would mean if there was a 'Type 1 error' in this study.
