The bar chart compares the numbers of male and female students choosing six different
subjects at an American university in 2010. It can be seen from the graph that Finance
was the most popular choice for both sexes, while Mathematics and Accounting were
also popular with male and female students respectively. In contrast, Engineering was
the least common option. The biggest gender gaps were recorded in the subjects of
Mathematics and Economics.
Turning to the detail, Finance attracted the largest number of students, with an equal
number of males and females (230) choosing this subject. The second most popular
subject for women was Accounting with 200 students, which was slightly higher than that
of males, at around 170. In contrast, the second most popular option for men was Maths
with 200 students, compared to only around 60 female students.
Those subjects that attracted a moderate amount of interest included Economics, with
150 male and 75 female students. Similarly, Marketing was preferred by 120 female
students in comparison to only 80 males. Finally, Engineering was the least popular with
almost the same number of males and females at just over 50.
