It should be 'X correlates with Y'., Misunderstanding the difference between correlation coefficients (e.g. positive vs negative correlation). |
| Hinweise zur Verwendung | Use 'connection' in both social and technical contexts. Avoid using it in overly casual situations, where simpler terms might be more appropriate. | Used in academic and statistical contexts. Avoid in casual conversations.
