To find the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS", we first identify the vowel letters in the word. The letters in "MODELS" are:

  • M
  • O (vowel)
  • D
  • E (vowel)
  • L
  • S

The vowels are O and E, which gives us a total of 2 vowels.

Next, let's determine the total number of letters in the word "MODELS." There are 6 letters in total.

Using the uniform probability model, the probability of selecting a vowel letter is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Probability of selecting a vowel} = \frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Thus, the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS" is:

\[ \frac{1}{3} \]

The correct response is:
