Fora sample of 10 individuals, a researcher calculates residuals forthe relationship between “number of delinquent friends” and “numberof prior arrests” and finds that the positive residuals = 125. Theresearcher then collects a second sample of 10 individuals andcalculates the residuals on the same two variables and discoversthe sum of the positive residuals = 75. What can you conclude aboutthe strength of the relationship between “number of delinquentpeers” and “number of prior arrests” across these two randomsamples? How are they similar/different?
