Figure 55 shows variability index (V.I.) versus log z for the RQQSO sample. Redshift (z) is also marked along the horizontal axis.

The linear correlation coefficient is 0.43 for V.I. versus z and 0.39 for V.I. versus log z. The closer RQQSOs are more likely to be variable. If the redshift is cosmological, the closer RQQSOs are also older and at a later stage in their evolution. At low redshifts, objects can be observed which are fainter intrinsically than could be observed at greater distances. Since the correlation between V.I. and B suggested that objects fainter in apparent magnitude, which might be expected to be more distant, were more likely to vary, a relative intrinsic brightness (R.I.B.
