Use the complement rule here:
Let's call the probability of living in Tennessee P(T). Then P(T)= population of tenn/ population of U.S = 6,214,888/303,824,640.
We want to know the exact opposite. What's the probability that they don't live in Tennessee? Recall that P(T') = 1 - P(T).
Then P(T') =
P(T') =
P(T') =
P(T') =
Use a calculator and you get .9795 after rounding to four decimal places.
P(T') = .9795
========
The probability is .9795.

--------------------
P(not live in Tenn) = 1 - P(live in Tenn)
----
= 1 - [6,214,888/303,824,640)
---
= 1 - 0.020456
--------
= 0.979544...
----
= 0.980 to the nearest thousandth
