OTHER TYPES

OF GRAPH
pareto chart
·A Pareto chart is a bar graph. The lengths of the bars represent
frequency or percentage occurrence from highest to lowest.

·The chart visually depicts which situations are more significant.

·It helps analyze and prioritize issue resolution.


WHEN TO USE A PARETO CHART
·When analyzing data about the frequency of problems or causes
in an process

·When there are many problems or causes and you want to focus
on the most significant

·When analyzing broad causes by looking at their specific


components

·When communicating with others about your data


UNDERSTANDING THE PARETO PRINCIPLE
(The 80/20 Rule)
·The 80/20 Rule (also known as the Pareto principle or the
law of the vital few & trivial many) states that, for many
events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the
causes
·More generally, the Pareto Principle is the observation.
·The numbers don’t have to be 20% or 80% exactly.
·The 80/20 rule observes that most things have an unequal
distribution.
• Arrange the data from the largest to smallest
according to frequency
• Draw and label the x and y axes
• Draw the bars corresponding to the frequencies

steps
·Step 1 - place data set in descending order
·Step 2 - calculate the total frequency
·Step 3 - cumulative frequency (CF)
·Step 4 - divide by total frequency
EXAMPLE
In an international airport many flights delayed for day,
an airport manager want to resolve the problem, the
following table gives the information about the number
of flights delayed due to the different reasons. Help the
manager to solve the problem.
