○ mode
○ percentage
○ average
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

To compare the portion (or share) of two different groups (basketball fans who attend games vs. football fans who attend games), we need a statistic that represents a proportion of a whole. Percentage calculates the number of items in a category relative to the total, making it ideal for comparing these portions. Median, mode, and average (mean) measure central tendency, not proportional portions.

Answer:

O percentage
