Assessing Distribution of Company Sales
A sales director wants to analyze the performance of their 500-person sales team. They propose creating a graph that plots the cumulative percentage of salespeople (ranked from lowest to highest sales) on the horizontal axis against the cumulative percentage of total sales revenue on the vertical axis. Their goal is to determine if a small fraction of the team is generating a disproportionately large share of the revenue. Is this proposed graphical method a valid application for the director's purpose? Justify your conclusion.

An economist is analyzing income distribution. They create two separate graphs. The first graph shows the distribution for an entire nation. The second graph shows the distribution for just one of the nation's wealthiest cities. Both graphs plot the cumulative percentage of the population on the horizontal axis against the cumulative percentage of total income on the vertical axis. When comparing the two graphs, what is the most critical analytical point the economist must consider to avoid a flawed conclusion?

This method represents a correct application for visualizing the distribution of ownership.
