The men possibly exaggerated their reported number of partners, women reported a number lower than the actual number, or a minority of women had a sufficiently larger number than most other women to create a mean significantly higher than the median, or all of the above ( see Pareto principle ).

Using the same numbers, Wikipedia was cited by Charles Arthur in " The Guardian " on Thursday July 20 as an example of what he called the " 1 % Rule " that only 1 % of people online will actually engage in significant content creation ( similar to the Pareto principle ).

The "'2080 "'software concept was developed from 2005 by elaborating on the existing Pareto principle, or " 80 / 20 " rule which states, in short, that in IT projects 80 % of the work is done before 20 % of completion time, and the remaining 20 % will take up 80 % of the time.

Sameni cited the Pareto Principle, which suggests 80 percent of outcomes are the result of 20 percent of causes, explaining : Essentially, we [ Patexia ] recommend that the USPTO apply crowdsourcing to the 20 percent of patent applications thus increasing efficiency overall, rather than applying crowdsourcing to every application under review .

Purely quantitatively, a conventional way of splitting a distribution into head and tail is to consider the head to be the first " p " portion of ranks, which account for 1-p of the overall population, as in the 80 : 20 Pareto principle, where the top 20 % ( head ) comprises 80 % of the overall population.

To prevent the paradox, Sen suggests that " The ultimate guarantee for individual liberty may rest not on rules for social choice but on developing individual values that respect each other's personal choices . " Doing so would amount to limiting certain types of nosy preferences, or alternatively restricting the application of the Pareto principle only to those situations where individuals fail to have nosy preferences.
