What is the probabilty that a US state name chosen at random from all state names will begin with the letter M? (each state name has an equal chance of being selected) (exact decimal)

* I know there are 8 states out of 50 that begin with the letter M. The question is asking for the decimal, should I divide 8 by 50?
