Identify the relationship between migration distance and plumage colouration.

[1]

Markscheme
  1. the longer the migration, the lighter the colour / vice versa;
  2. too much variation so it is not possible to see a relationship;
Examiners report

Most could identify the relationship between distance and colouration but ignored that a mathematical correlation would be difficult to establish due to the logarithmic x-axis, the relative units of the y-axis, and the limited number of points. They should realize that a trend line doesn't always indicate correlation.
