Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The share of audience is calculated as the percentage of households watching a specific program out of all households with TVs turned on at that time. With 6 million total households and 50% having their TVs on, that means 3 million households had their TVs on. 1 million were watching the game, so the share is (1 million / 3 million) * 100 = 33%.
