Final answer:

The three errors while debugging are logical, syntax, and runtime errors, not chance error, bias, or Type I and Type II errors which are related to hypothesis testing in statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three types of errors encountered while debugging are logical errors, syntax errors, and runtime errors. Logical errors occur when the program runs but gives incorrect results due to errors in the program's logic. Syntax errors are mistakes in the program's code that prevent it from compiling successfully.

Runtime errors occur during the execution of a program, causing it to stop unexpectedly. These types of errors are differentiated from statistical errors such as chance error, bias, and the Type I and Type II errors that occur in hypothesis testing. In hypothesis testing, a Type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected, and a Type II error occurs when a false null hypothesis is not rejected.
