2-4 Other Types of Graphs (Cont) Pareto charts Represents frequency distributions for a categorical variable Frequencies are displayed by heights from least to greatest
Pareto power law probability distribution that is used in description of social, scientific, geophysical, actuarial, and many other types of observable phenomena.
