Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, list all the months of the year

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

There are 2 months that begin with the letter A : April and August

There are 12 months in the whole year

That leaves 10 (12-2) months that do not begin with the letter A

P(month that does not begin with A) = months that don't begin with A/ total

P(month that does not begin with A) = 10/12

The fraction can be reduced, since both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2

P(month that does not begin with A) = (10/2) / (12/2)

P(month that does not begin with A) =5/6
