The bar chart illustrates the number of male and female students enrolled in six different disciplines at a US university in 2011.
Overall, male students outnumbered females in all disciplines except Linguistics. The most significant gender disparity was observed in Mathematics, while Natural Science exhibited nearly equal participation from both genders.
In terms of male-dominated subjects, Mathematics and Psychology each had 200 male students. However, the gender gap was more pronounced in Mathematics, where males outnumbered females by nearly seven times, compared to Psychology, which had only 25 fewer female students. Similarly, Engineering and Programming showed substantial gender imbalances, with approximately 150 male students enrolled in each field, compared to around 75 females.
Conversely, Linguistics displayed a reversed pattern, with female enrollments nearly doubling those of males, at 120 versus 60 students, respectively. Natural Science, on the other hand, recorded almost equal participation from both genders, with approximately 200 students each, making it the most popular discipline overall.
