A bar chart is the most appropriate data display for displaying the distribution of categorical data, such as gender. It allows for the easy comparison of frequencies between the different categories. The mean and median are measures of center, which are not applicable to categorical data. Frequency polygons and histograms are more appropriate for displaying the distribution of numerical data.
