CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 260

A principle states 80% of the issues are the result of 20% of the causes. Which of the following types of diagrams is based on this principle?

Answer options

• A. Pareto
• B. Scatter
• C. Network
• D. Fishbone

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Pareto diagram is specifically designed to highlight the most significant factors in a dataset, aligning with the 80/20 principle. The other options, such as Scatter and Network diagrams, do not focus on the prioritization of causes, while the Fishbone diagram is used for identifying root causes, not specifically for illustrating the 80/20 relationship.
