The final answer is 2/15 or 0.133

Step-by-step explanation:

The US States that start with an "N" are:

Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota

The probability of selecting a state that starts with an N is 8/50

The probability of rolling at least a two is 5/6.

If we multiply the two probabilities together, we get 2/15.
