    The correct number is 550 rock songs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find this, we start by determining how many songs there were in each trial.

    5+4+3+2+6 = 20

    3+3+5+4+5 = 20

    Next we need to find the average number of rock songs in the trials.

    (6+5) / 2 = 5.5

    Now to find the average percentage of songs, divide the rock songs by overall.

    5.5/20 = 27.5%

    Now we can multiply that percentage by the total number of songs on the mp3 player.

    2000*27.5% = 550 Songs
