The bar chart below illustrates the number of males and females participating in numerous evening courses at an adult education center in 2009. The pie chart provides data on the age distribution of these course participants.
Overall, the drawing class was equally popular among men and women, whereas the language course had the biggest disparity in attendance. More elderly people took part in evening education than young people.

In contrast, the painting course had the highest number of male participants, with only 15 females attending. Sculpture, the least popular course overall, was the only course with more male than female attendees.
