This is a bar graph of the average age at first marriage of both men and women in the US.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar graph presents the mean age when people get married for the first time, separated by gender in the US from 1900 to 1987.
It is clear that at the first marriage, the men are much older than the women in the shown period and these ages of men are higher than 23 years old whilst the figure for women is almost lower than 23.
In 1990, at about 26 years old, the men decided to leave a single life. 30 years later, the men intended to get married earlier than before, the mean age at first marriage in 1930 is 24.2. The figure remained relatively same in the following decade, reached 24.4 at 1940 before declined sharply in the next 10 years, falling to 23.3 in 1950. Throughout the remainder of given period, the average age at first marriage of men saw a gradual increase, reached to 25.8 at the end of the period, 1987.
Having a relatively different trend, the mean age at first marriage for women hardly changed from 1900 to 1930, at approximately 22. However, in the two following decade, the figure dropped remarkably, going down to about 20.3 in 1940. At the end of period shown, there was also a quick going up about the stated mean age, climbed nearly 26 in 1987.
