Answer:

The probability is
(5)/(9)

Explanation:

First we will find the probability of having a roll that is at least 3

1 2 3 4 5 6

this means there is a
(4)/(6) chance we will roll at least 3

Next we will find which months of the year are applicable

January February March April May June July August September October November December

This means there is a
(5)/(6) chance we will pick a month that does not begin with the letter M.

Now we can multiply these chances together to see what the total probability is.


(4)/(6) * (5)/(6) = (20)/(36) \rightarrow \boxed{(5)/(9)}

That is the answer
