Answer:

3.85 x 10 ^4

Step-by-step 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
