What do run charts primarily show?

  1. Causes of defects

  2. Performance within specified boundaries

  3. Trends or changes in variables over time

  4. The frequency of information

The correct answer is: Trends or changes in variables over time

Run charts are visual tools that display data points in chronological order. These charts are useful for showing trends and changes in variables over time. Option A is incorrect because run charts are not meant to show causes of defects, but rather to show the relationship between variables and defect occurrences over time. Option B is also incorrect because, while run charts do display performance over time, they are not limited to specific boundaries. Option D is incorrect because run charts are not about the frequency of information, but rather about the patterns and relationships among data points plotted over time. Overall, run charts primarily show trends and changes in variables over time and can help identify patterns and relationships in data.
