Henderson · Answer 1

There is a strong positive, correlation between the height of daisies and the number of days growing.

Explanation:

r is between - 1 and 1

if it is negative that is a negative relationship and the same with positives.

The closer it is to - 1 or 1, the stronger the relationship so this one is definitly positive and pretty strong
