pareto chart is same as bar chart if the frequency data is sorted either in descending order or in ascending oder.but it should not be done if the data come under ordinal scale of measurment

I was confused by the defination of google

In the google screenshot , its a combination chart ( pareto/bar + line) . It has got two y axis. 

Bars represent frequency of that particular category. Represented by left yaxis. 

The line represent cumulative % . Represented by right yaxis. 

X axis is various categories (reason for coming late )

In your screenshot, % of cases for traffic seems to be approximately 32% .  % of cases for child care seems to be approximately 28% . So cumulative % at childcare would be 32+28 , which is approximately 60% . This is 60% is plotted on the line (look at the right y axis).   

The scope of the lecture seems to be just bar pareto charts, for which categories in x axis can be plotted either ascending or descending. 

For combination pareto chart (bar + line) , it makes sense to keep the categories descending since you are trying to plot the cumulative line from 0% to 100%.

I have a doubt regarding pareto chart !

The bars of pareto chart can be drawn only in descending order or it can be drawn in bot ascending and descending order ??

Please clarify as soon as possible!

Hi,

In the Pareto chart, we can arrange the bars in ascending or descending order of their frequencies.
