*4.2. Analyzing the Correlations Between E-Skills and E-Activities on the Three Analyzed Zones*

#### 4.2.1. Zone 1 EU28 Level

The correlation between e-skills (y) and e-activities (x1 to x5) wa determined by analyzing all the data (between 2015 and 2019) for all the analyzed variables (y and x1 to x5), for the three analyzed zones (EU28, Romania, and the best-in-class analyzed group). As a result of calculating the correlation from 2015 to 2019 between the e-skills and the e-activities at the EU28 level the following results (Table 7) are obtained.


Calculations made by the author using Excel data analysis.

Thus, the correlation between e-skills and:


We observe that at the EU28 level, there are positive and strong correlations among the analyzed variables, being between 0.76 and 0.98.
