Technological and security have a substantial positive correlation—0.908, according to Pearson's coefficient of correlation—between them. The association is considered significant at the 99% confidence level because the p-value is less than 0.05. This suggests that using technology to improve security in Kampala District is a good thing. The strong association between security levels and the adoption of technology for security suggests that these two factors are correlated.
