Sixth-grade students completed a random survey to determine how many songs each student has downloaded to his/her media player in the past two months. The data gathered is represented in the table below.

a) Compute the measures of center for both the boys and girls data. Describe their differences. Use the terms mean and median to justify your answer. (3 points)

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

the functions have the same rate of change i think. i narrowed it down to this answer and "the rate of change of tour 1 is greater" but i got it wrong using that answer so im assuming its the answer above. (this is a question i also answered from the iready site if anyone needs a reference)
