The bar graph compares the quantity of male and female students who studied six distinct subjects namely linguistics, psychology, natural sciences, engineering, programming, and mathematics in the year 2005.
Overall, it is evident that the number of male research students was higher than females in all categories with the exception of linguistics in 2005. While natural science was the top subject for both genders, linguistics among men was the least preferred subject, whereas women had the least interest in mathematics. It is worth mentioning that linguistics was the only subject that was in favor of more women than men.
If we look at the graph in detail, we can see that there were equal numbers in research students, with 200 males and females studying natural sciences. Closely followed by natural sciences, psychology and linguistics came next showing relatively high trends, with the gap among men and women in both psychology and linguistics subjects amounting to around 25 students. To be more specific, more females learned linguistics, at about 110, whilst more males chose psychology, with 200 students.
Turning to the other comparatively low figures, there was approximately a half disparity among sexes in engineering and programming wherein 150 men selected both subjects. In contrast, the number of males who studied mathematics accounted for 200 students, which was approximately five times more than that of females.
