ITPEC IP October 2024 Question 70
ITPEC IP October 2024 — Question 70 of 100
A Pareto chart combines bars ordered from the largest category to the smallest with a cumulative-total line. It highlights the categories responsible for the greatest share of defects, complaints, or other outcomes. Teams can then prioritize improvement work on the few major causes before lower-frequency categories.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) Control chart plots process measurements over time against a center line and control limits
- (b) Tree diagram hierarchically decomposes a goal, cause, or subject into smaller elements
- (d) Matrix chart displays relationships among two or more groups of items
Key rule: Descending frequency bars plus a cumulative line uniquely identify a Pareto chart and support the vital-few prioritization principle.
