The charts below give information about the proportion of both genders aged from 5 to 14 participating in cultural events and sports in Australia in 2003. The above bar chart illustrates the percentage of boys and girls joining four different kinds of activities whereas the below shows only the rate for doing sports in both genders.
As can be seen from the graphs, most students preferred sports to other activities shown by a much higher number of boys and girls while we can see that fewer female students took part in sports than male ones.
It is clear from the first chart that there were four main kinds of outside school hours activities for students namely drama, dancing, singing and playing musical instruments. According to the data, the number of girls who like to dance was the highest with 25 girls compared to only 2 boys. However, there were more boys playing the musical instruments than girls. In addition, the numbers of boys and girls were nearly the same for students who attended drama club and singing.
The second chart depicts the total number of boys and girls doing sports in 2003. As is observed, more boys like to play sports compared to girls with 70 out of 55 students.
