The bar charts illustrate the numbers of research students of both sexes studying six distinct information technology subjects at a US college in the year of 2011.
Overall, there was considerably more male students studying nearly all of the computer science subjects than female ones, except for Natural Science and Linguistics. Additionally, while the number of men and women selecting Natural Science was relatively the same, that of Mathematics witnessed the most different between two sexes.
In detail, there was 200 males studying Mathematics, which was approximately five times higher than the number of females in the same category, making this the most male-dominated subject. Standing at the same amount of 200, men studying Psychology was third-fourths their male colleagues learning Engineering and Programming. Similarly, women selecting Psychology was nearly three times higher than those in Engineering and Programming category, with 200 students compared to around 80 and 70 learners, respectively.
As opposed to this male-dominated trend, the number of research students studying Natural Science was equally the same between males and females, both of which stood at 200, becoming the most balanced category. As for Linguistics, a moderate difference was recorded between two sexes: there were about 120 women in comparison to about 75 men, making this the only female-dominated subject.
