Your assignment will be to create a Pareto Chart using data obtained from an external source

The purpose of the Pareto Chart is to distinguish between the vital few versus the trivial man
Some potential examples of data that can be used in a Pareto Chart would be: 1) crime report

3) causes of auto accidents, 4) professional sportsetc Your data should NOT be evenly distribut

You can use any of these but use your imagination on other potential data, because identical
Use the worksheet provided in the spreadsheet attached to the assignment.
Your task will be to identify and collect data useful for Pareto Chart purposes.
Your data should have between 20-100 data points.
You will enter the data into this Excel worksheet.
You should use 60%-80% for the cutoff points between the vital few and the trivial many. Bu

After creating the Pareto Chart you should identify the vital few items.
Finally your report will include a 1 small paragraph summary of your experience.
