Final answer:

To estimate the probability that a person picked at random would not express the opinion of wanting more baseball games on network TV, subtract the proportion of people who expressed this opinion from 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate the probability that a person picked at random would not express the opinion of wanting more baseball games on network TV, we need to subtract the proportion of people who expressed this opinion from 1. P(not express opinion) = 1 - P(express opinion).

Given that 73 out of 102 surveyed expressed the opinion, we have P(express opinion) = 73/102.

Therefore, P(not express opinion) = 1 - (73/102).
