Caption: Figure 3.

Distribution of fractional variability measures F_var for successful reverberation-mapping campaigns compiled by Peterson et al. (2004). The upper panel shows the continuum variations, usually in the optical and uncorrected for starlight contamination, and the lower panel shows line variations, usually for Hβ and uncorrected for narrow-line contamination. The values for the current campaign on NGC 7469, shown in black, indicate how comparatively little variability was detected in this campaign.
