| The Pareto chart is a type
of ordered histogram often used to evaluate
the frequency of occurrence of defects.
It is called a Pareto Chart because the
distribution of defects typically obeys
the Pareto
Principle, 20% of the defect
categories account for 80% of the defects.

It is usual to include the grouped results
in the bars, and a line graph of the cumulative
total.
