Question

super bowl lviii drew largest tv crowd in the game’s history average tv viewership of super bowl telecasts in the united states source: nielsen if the pattern from 2010 to 2020 had continued at the same rate of decline, approximately what would the 2024 viewership have been around 70 million around 90 million around 100 million around 120 million

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze 2010 - 2020 Trend

From the graph, 2010 viewership (let's estimate peak around 2010 - 2015 as ~110M) and 2020 (let's say ~90M). So decline over 10 years: \(110 - 90 = 20\)M over 10 years, rate \(2\)M per year.

Step2: Extend to 2024 (4 years after 2020)

If 2020 is ~90M, decline 4 years at 2M/year: \(90 - (4\times2)= 82\)M? Wait, maybe better estimate. Alternatively, 2010 peak ~110M, 2020 ~90M (10 years, 20M drop). 2024 is 14 years from 2010? Wait, 2010 to 2024 is 14 years? No, 2010 - 2020 is 10 years, 2020 - 2024 is 4 years. So total 14 years from 2010. If 10 years drop 20M, 14 years drop \(20\times1.4 = 28\)M. 110 - 28 = 82, close to 90? Wait, options: around 90 million is closest. Wait, maybe my initial estimate. Alternatively, the graph's 2020 - 2024: if 2020 was ~90M, and decline rate 5M per 5 years? Wait, the options: around 90 million is an option. So likely the answer is around 90 million.

Answer:

Around 90 million (the option with "Around 90 million")
