To find the ratio of the number of people who do not like watching basketball to the total number of people polled, we first need to determine the total number of people polled.
From the poll, we know the following:
- 1 person likes watching basketball.
- 38 people do not like watching basketball.
Now, we calculate the total number of people polled:
\[ \text{Total number of people} = \text{Number of people who like basketball} + \text{Number of people who do not like basketball} = 1 + 38 = 39 \]
Next, we find the number of people who do not like watching basketball, which is 38.
Now, we can express the ratio of the number of people who do not like watching basketball to the total number of people polled:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of people who do not like basketball}}{\text{Total number of people}} = \frac{38}{39} \]
Thus, the ratio of the number of people who do not like watching basketball to the total number of people polled is:
\[ \frac{38}{39} \]
