Question

The semester project came back from the copy store and the project leader has just noticed that the left side y-axis of a key Pareto chart was cut off due to a printing error. The bar chart component uses the missing left side y-axis and the cumulative percentage line on the Pareto chart uses the right side y-axis. The project leader is pretty sure that the total number of observations in all combined categories is 200. Can you help him develop estimates of the counts for each of the five categories?
Show your calculations and you may use approximations wherever you feel necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it can be done from using cumulative percentage line on right y-axis

Explanation:

for smallest bar= lowest percentage on right y-axis × 200/100

for 2nd smallest bar= ( next consecutive percentage- smallest percentage) × 200/100

and so on
