    So I was talking with a guy who's a Six Sigma Blackbelt (I'm currently earning my Greenbelt). We were talking about statistical analysis tools and he challenged me to name the Cumulative Line of the Pareto Chart. He gave me two hints: it's five letters and one of them is a "V".

    Anyone?

    I'm just guessing, but is that right?

    I concur although this information was not easy to find. This is the man that named it. Francis Galton, a Mathematician lived from 1822-1911.

    Ogive's pronunciation is variable. Sometimes it's pronounced o-gee by others it's oh-jive.
    Jive is what happens when you fool with statistics. Not to mention the fact that you will go blind if you play with them too long. :rolleyes:

    My optometrist told me I needed glasses because I was getting old. Now I know the real reason! I've made largely futile attempts at this form of "jiving" over the years. :lol:

    So that's it? It's called "Ogive"? I'll run with it and check his reaction.

    THANKS GUYS!

    This post made me twitch. I used to write code for an SQC/SPC system made by Allen Bradley. If truth be known, I was the head of development for it, but I still wrote enough code that it makes me twitch ever time I hear the term "Pareto Chart". Any of you guys remember the 7890 System from back in the '80s? That was me.

    Tom, that was beyond my time.

    "Ogive" was the correct answer, of course. He was trying to figure out who told me and started naming people in our office who knows. I said, "nah, it was none of them; a friend in California first told me and another Californian confirmed.

    I'll be going through my Green Belt training in a couple weeks. Anything I should be on the lookout for?
