The given chart demonstrates the preferences for six different courses among male and female students in a particular university in 2012.
Overall, while the number of male students in engineering, science, and mathematics outnumbered their female counterparts, the opposite pattern can be observed in the remaining subjects, except for agriculture, which recorded an equal ratio between the two genders. It is also evident that social sciences were by far the most popular subjects among the six courses surveyed.
Regarding the total enrollment, 7000 students pursued social sciences, more than double the figure for engineering. This was followed by registration for health, humanities, science, and mathematics which showed minor variations, ranging from 2000 to approximately 2300 students. Meanwhile, agriculture was chosen by a minority, with roughly 400 students enrolling in this course.
In terms of the ratio between men and women, 4000 female students majored in social science, surpassing the number of men by 1000. A similar pattern can be seen in courses related to health and humanities, but the gap was smaller, with roughly 1500 female students compared to just under 1000 males. In contrast, the number of males pursuing engineering, sciences and mathematics, at over 2000 and 1100 students respectively, was significantly higher than that of females, which varied slightly from 800 to 1000 students. Agriculture was the only course that had an equal number of male and female students, at around 200 each.
