The bar chart in the exam represents the distribution of research students occupied in various subjects, divided by sex, in 2005.
Overall, if one analyses the chart by sex, some aspects emerge: most of the women were oriented towards more humanistic subjects, like linguistic and psychology, but the peak was in natural sciences, where they reached 200 students.
Engineering, programming, and mathematics seem to have been less appealing for them, with less than 100 enrolled women each. Men, instead, were prevalent in almost every faculty, except for linguistics, the only one where they didn’t sum up to 100 researchers. Men reached up to 200 enrolled academics in three subjects: mathematics, natural sciences and psychology.On the other hand, if one looks into the numbers of every faculty, other aspects come to light; the most frequented course, for example, was natural science, with the same number of male and female researchers: 200 each. Right behind, psychology followed it, with just 25 enrolled females less. The least attended course was linguistics, with almost the same proportion of students.
