Dear Sir/Ma'am, 
        I am Aditi Prasad. Sir/Ma'am, I had a doubt in question 4, Week 2 Graded Assignment in Statistics. 
The question says to identify the wrong statement, but the given answer : "Pareto Chart is used only for ordinal data" is actually a correct statement, therefore, I am unable to understand it. Please find the attached screenshot of the question.pareto.png

Hi,
There exists a certain order within the data points of the variable with an ordinal scale of measurement, hence we arrange these data points in that order in the bar chart. We never arrange them in the order of their frequencies. That's why the Pareto chart is not used for ordinal data.

Thanks,
