The given chart and diagram illustrate the preferences of male and female students for six different subjects at a university in 2012.
Overall, it can be seen that the ratio of social sciences students overwhelmed other fields. Additionally, agriculture was the only subject that had an equal number of genders.
Starting with subjects that had more females than males, there were exactly 4,000 females attending this field, which was two times higher than males, making a total of 7,000 students. Followed by health with more than 2,000 students in total, which was around 1,000 and less than 2,000 for males and females respectively. Humanities had exactly 1,000 male students and less than 2,000 female students.
Moving to the remainder, engineering had 3,000 students in total. However, the ratio of males who chose engineering was outnumbered by females when they had more than 2,000 male students applying to this course. Science and math followed the same trend when the males’ ratio doubled the females’ and the total was 2,000. Agriculture was the only field that had an equal number of students in both genders and it was also the subject that had the lowest amount of preferences – less than 1,000.
