direction= positive correlation
strength= very high correlation

The value of r which is 0.99295 denotes that the age of the gravestone has a very high correlation with the diameter of the
longest lichen.
It can also impy that as the gravestone age, there is a higher possibility that the measured diameter of the longest lichen gets bigger.

r= 0.98913901
direction= positive correlation
strength= very high correlation

The value of r which is 0.98914 denotes that the number of days that bacteria were cultured has a very high correlation with the population of
bacteria.
It can also impy that as days pass by, the number of bacteria increases.
