`3.85` x
`10^4`

Explanation:

Answer 2

3.85 x 10 ^4

Explanation:

The average number of viewers over the two weeks is 3.85 x 10 ^4

The given parameters are:

Week 1 = 3.6 x 10 ^4 viewers

Week 2 = 4.1 x 10 ^4 viewers

The average is calculated as:

Average = (Week 1 + Week 2)/2

This gives-

Average = (3.6 x 10 ^4 + 4.1 x 10 ^4)/2

Evaluate the sum:

Average = (7.7 x 10 ^4)/2

Evaluate the quotient:

Average = 3.85 x 10 ^4
