Hello,

As you can see in the attached screenshot below, the faculty is describing a Pareto Chart as one that can have either ascending or descending order of arrangement for the observations. However when you attempt the exercise before this video, it does not accept ascending order Pareto charts as correct answers leading me to believe that this is an error. Please clarify.

Best Regards

Dear Sir/Madam,

I too faced this situation in the Lecture 2.2 - "Describing Categorical Data - Charts of categorical data" - video seek time: 19:47.

When I attempted the "Activity Question 2 - Not Graded", a couple of questions related to Pareto Charts did not accept Ascending Order of arrangement.

Will the Course Support Team let all the learners to know about the outcome of this issue?
