In the example, you said that the opposite of Most people care. Is 50% or less of people care. or we can also say it as Most people don't care.
I don't really grasp the idea how Most people don't care. can be the opposite.
I need further explanation :(

"Most" can be described as anything more than 50%. If 51% of people care, then most people care.
If exactly 50% of people care, then we cannot say that most people care. It has to be more than half.
If only 49% of people care, then what can we say about the rest of the population? We can say that 51% do not care, which qualifies as "most people do not care."
Does that answer your question?

I don't understand why the negated version of "most people case could" be "most people don't care." Why isn't it just less than 50% of the people?
