The provided bar chart elucidates the preferred hobbies distribution of Australian children aged from 5 to 14 that is segmented into skateboarding or rollerblading, bike riding, watching TV and videos, electronic or computer games and art and craft.
To summarise, it is evident from the data that the most popular avocation of children is watching TV or videos, that is showcased a consistent leadership among the rest of the categories. Meanwhile, there was an equal number of gaps in the patterns of bike riding and playing video games, with boys being predominantly higher. However, several disproportional records were found in the statistics of skateboarding and artistic hobbies.
In terms of watching broadcast television or videos, observations reveal a striking parity between both genders, accounting for precisely 100%. In stark contrast, boys exhibited a notable dominance regarding playing video games, standing at around 80%, whereas girls remained the lowest, reaching about 60%. A similar pattern can be seen in riding a bicycle, with boys being just below 80% and girls maintaining almost the same level with modest changes. On the other hand, skateboarding or rollerblading may be labeled as the least favorite activity to do in the leisure time overall among surveyed children, with boys reaching almost 40%, while girls recorded merely above 20%. Interestingly, the only exception was the rate of artistic performance, displaying a great female dominance in engagement in this hobby, illustrating a pronounced upward figure of about 60%, contrasting by males with a count of nearly just above 30%.
