The two pie charts illustrate the findings of a survey concerning the cultural and leisure activities engaged in by boys and girls.
Overall, there are notable discrepancies between the preferences of boys and girls, particularly regarding activities such as reading and sports, while their individual enjoyment of listening to music remains constant.
Focusing on the first pie chart, it is evident that the majority of boys exhibit a strong inclination towards playing computer games, which accounts for 34% of their activities. Basketball ranks as the second most favored pastime, with nearly one-third of boys participating, followed by soccer, enjoyed by 17% of the respondents. Other activities, such as skateboarding and listening to music, manifest lower levels of engagement, attracting 11% and 10% of boys, respectively. Notably, reading emerges as the least favored cultural endeavor among boys, appreciated by only 2% of the surveyed group.
In stark contrast, the second pie chart reveals that girls predominantly favor dancing, with 27% of participants engaging in this activity. Reading, while overlooked by boys, is notably more popular among girls, capturing the interest of over 20% of respondents. Although the proportion of girls participating in computer games is significantly lower than that of boys—16% compared to 34%—it ranks as the third most popular activity. Netball closely follows with a participation rate of 15%, while gymnastics reflects a similar trend to boys’ skateboarding, with 11% of girls involved. The activity of listening to music, appearing as the least favored among girls as well, is equally represented by 10%, mirroring the preferences observed in boys.
