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

  • O
  • E

So, there are 2 vowels in the word "MODELS."

The total number of letters in "MODELS" is 6 (M, O, D, E, L, S).

To find the probability of selecting a vowel, we use the formula:

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

Thus, the probability of selecting a vowel letter from the word "MODELS" is \( \frac{1}{3} \).

The correct response is:
