Apologies for the confusion in my previous response.
The correct sets of letters that have an equal chance of being selected when randomly picking a letter from the word MISSISSIPPI are:
- S and I: The letter "I" appears 4 times and the letter "S" appears 4 times in the word MISSISSIPPI, so they have an equal chance of being selected.
- M and P: The letter "M" appears 1 time and the letter "P" appears 2 times in the word MISSISSIPPI, so they also have an equal chance of being selected.
I hope this clarifies it. Thank you for pointing out the error.
