As a rule of thumb, for such population distributions the majority of occurrences (more than half, and where the Pareto principle applies, 80%) are accounted for by the first 20% of items in the distribution.
Gruba procjena je da se kod takvih distribucija većina pojava (više od polovine, a u slučaju Paretovog principa 80%) odnosi na prvih 20% stavki u distribuciji.
