Pareto 80/20 Law: Derivation via Random Partitioning [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The Pareto 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto principle or law, states that a small number of causes (20%) is responsible for a large percentage (80%) of the effect. Although widely recognized as a heuristic rule, this proportion has not been theoretically based. The article considers derivation of this 80/20 rule and some other standard quotients from the mean and its interval estimation for the total value defined by the product of two variables in the random partitioning model.
