The bar chart illustrates how many children played six kinds of sports in a town in England in 2012.

Overall, the number of boys playing sports exceeded that of girls in the given period and the sport
with the most significant difference between the genders was football. Football was also the most
popular sport for boys while the majority of girls preferred swimming. Furthermore, both males
and females least preferred playing hockey.
There were four sports in which boys parEcipated more than girls. While 60 boys played football,
the number of girls playing that sport was considerably lower (around 20). With regards to tennis,
the figure (4) for boys who played that sport was 50 as opposed to just under 40 for girls. Similarly,
more boys cycled than girls (approximately 35 and 20 respecEvely).
In terms of hockey, the difference was minimal with only about 5 more boys playing that sport
than girls. On the other hand, more girls took part in the two remaining sports which both showed
a difference of about 10 between the genders. As many as 50 girls preferred swimming in
comparison to 40 girls for badminton.
The bar chart details the amount of waste that was disposed via landfill, burning, and dumping
at sea, in a parEcular European country between 2005 and 2008.
Overall, it can be seen that while landfills iniEally were the main method of waste disposal and
burning the least used method, the trend slowly reversed over the four-year period.
In 2005, disposing of waste via landfill was significantly the most preferred method of disposal
with 1800 million tonnes of trash being buried. The amount of trash dumped at sea was only a
third of this, at 600 million tonnes, while the amount of trash that was burnt was around 500
million tonnes. In 2006 the amount of waste buried in landfills had reduced substanEally by 600
million tonnes, to 1200, however, the amount of waste that was burnt or disposed of at sea only
increased by 50-100 million tonnes.
In 2007, the waste that was buried and dumped at sea both dropped to about 900 and 600 million
tonnes respecEvely, while the amount of trash burnt rose to around 700 million tonnes. By 2008,
burning of waste was the preferred method of disposal, at 900 million tonnes, with landfill waste
down to only 600 million tonnes, a third of the figure in the first year, and only approximately 550
million tonnes of waste dumped at sea.
