Draw multiple bar chart for the data and analyze the results
To draw a multiple bar chart for the given data, we can create two sets of bars - one for the male graduates and one for the female graduates. The height of each bar will represent the number of graduates for each respective gender in each year.
To analyze the results, we can compare the number of male and female graduates over the four years and observe any trends or patterns.
Please note that due to limitations in this text-based format, I am unable to provide an actual visual representation of the bar chart. However, I can describe the chart and the analysis based on it.
Analysis:
From the bar chart, we can observe the following trends:
1. Overall Graduates: The number of graduates, both male and female, has increased over the four years. This indicates a growth in the number of students completing their studies at X-University.
2. Male Graduates: The number of male graduates increased consistently from 905 in 2010 to 1600 in 2013. This shows a steady growth in the number of male graduates each year.
3. Female Graduates: The number of female graduates, while initially lower than the number of male graduates, also increased consistently from 300 in 2010 to 560 in 2013. This indicates a steady growth in the number of female graduates as well.
4. Gender Ratio: In all four years, the number of male graduates was higher than the number of female graduates. However, there has been a gradual decrease in the difference between the two genders. In 2010, the difference was 605 (905 male - 300 female), whereas in 2013, the difference narrowed to 1040 (1600 male - 560 female). This suggests that efforts to promote gender equality in education may have resulted in increased female participation and a more balanced gender ratio among graduates.
Overall, the multiple bar chart provides a clear visualization of the number of male and female graduates over the four-year period, allowing us to analyze the results and identify patterns in the data.
