    Step-by-step explanation:

    I'm assuming you meant 2169 females.

    In that case, you have 183/2231 for males and 156/2169 for females.

    Converting to percentages, we can see proportionately which demographic is sexting more.

    8.2% of males participated in sexting out of the 2231 sample.

    7.2% of females participated in sexting out of the 2169 sample.

    Thus, there are proportionately more boys sexting than girls.
