To examine his belief, he records the gross revenue and the payment (in $ million) given to the two highest-paid performers in the movie for 10 recently released movies. $$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Movie } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Cost of two highest- } \\\text { paid performers } ( \$ \mathrm {~m} )\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Gross revenue } \\( \$ \mathrm {~m} )\end{array} \\\hline 1 & 5.3 & 48 \\\hline 2 & 7.2 & 65 \\\hline 3 & 1.3 & 18 \\\hline 4 & 1.8 & 20 \\\hline 5 & 3.5 & 31 \\\hline 6 & 2.6 & 26 \\\hline 7 & 8.0 & 73 \\\hline 8 & 2.4 & 23 \\\hline 9 & 4.5 & 39 \\\hline 10 & 6.7 & 58 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Compute the standardised residuals.
