Friesen and Shine (2019) wanted to determine whether male Australian cane toads have different testes sizes in different parts of the species' range (edge of the range vs. core of the range). As part of the study, they needed to quantify how big a toad's testes are relative to the toad's body size. They decided to perform a linear regression of total testes mass (in mg) against body mass (in g) and use the residual for each toad as a measure of the toad's relative testes size.

We have given cofficient of regression and we have to find residual for given x and y.Let equation is y=a+bxWhere a=19.192b=3.0063Wherey=19.192+3.0063xNow we have find residual forx=128 ,y=163Now predicted value isy=19.192+3.0063*128=403.9984Now residual isResidual=actual y-predicted y=163-403.9984=-240.9984 answer
