Evidence Consistent with the Cosmological Interpretation of Quasar Redshifts

We select a sample including 401 sources in which both absorption and emission redshifts are available from the table 1 in Hewitt and Burbidge.The sample is the largest one for the investigation of the quasar redshifts so far. It is found that most of the absorption redshifts (93.6%) are smaller than the corresponding emission redshifts, and the result is consistent with the conclusion drawn from a small sample in 1970s. The result indicates that the redshifts of quasars are indeed distance indicators. That is consistent with the cosmological interpretation of quasar redshifts.
