Answer 1

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

The total number of letters in "MODELS" is 6. Since there are 2 vowels ("O" and "E"), we can calculate the probability of selecting a vowel letter as follows:

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

Since this probability is not directly listed in your responses, let’s check the closest answer.

The responses given are:
1. \(\frac{1}{6}\)
2. \(\frac{2}{3}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{36}\)
4. \(\frac{1}{3}\)

The correct answer is **\(\frac{1}{3}\)**.
