Hypothesis

There is no correlation between the frequency of the LCT*-13910T allele and populations for which cattle breeding is common (401).

Note

While the researcher's hypothesis was that there was no positive relationship between the two, they still tested for a positive correlation. A final p value of 0.764 supported the original hypothesis.
