    The Pareto distribution is a power-law probability distribution often used to model phenomena with heavy tails and strong inequality, such as wealth or city sizes.
  • D. Pareto principle
    The Pareto principle is an economic and management concept stating that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes, often used to prioritize efforts and resources.
  • E. Lusser's law
    Lusser's law is a reliability engineering principle that states the overall reliability of a system is the product of the reliabilities of its individual components, highlighting how system reliability decreases as more components are added in series.
