The bar graph illustrates the number of male and female research students who studied six subjects—linguistics, psychology, natural sciences, engineering, programming, and mathematics—in 2005.
Overall, it is evident that there were more male students than female students studying various subjects. Additionally, natural sciences were popular among both genders. Conversely, mathematics was the least favored subject among women compared to their male counterparts. Furthermore, linguistics was the only subject where the number of female students exceeded that of male students.
There was an equal number of male students studying three subjects (psychology, natural sciences, and mathematics) with approximately 200 enrollments each. On the other hand, 200 female students also chose to study natural sciences. Furthermore, 150 men opted for both engineering and programming, while fewer than 100 women pursued these subjects.
Mathematics was the least favored subject among female researchers, who numbered about 40, which was around five times lower than that of male students. Additionally, more than 100 women enrolled in linguistics, compared to approximately 85 male students.
