Using Pareto Charts

Use the Pareto chart to view a bar graph of discrete attributes, such as defects, causes, actions, or control test violations. The chart appears with horizontal bars in a descending order. The bars are accompanied with a cumulative percent curve (Lorenz curve) and bar statistics to the right of the chart.

You can remove bars by clicking them and redrawing them or by using filtering options provided under the Modify Graph menu.

Equation	Statistic
	Each bar value is equal to the tally found for each attribute category.
	The bar percent is the percent that each bar represents for all displayed attribute categories.
	The cumulative percent represents the cumulative bar percentages.
