Hi,

If the frequencies of the data points of an ordinal variable follow the same order as the order of the said data points, can Pareto chart be still not used for ordinal variables?

Please consider the example attached, which would provide more clarity on my query.

Best regards,
Venkat

Hi,
Pareto chart is again a bar chart. So, whenever you have ordinal data, call it as bar chart only not the Pareto chart.

Thanks,
