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

  • O
  • E

So, there are 2 vowels (O and E) out of a total of 6 letters (M, O, D, E, L, S).

Now, using the formula for probability:

\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \]

we have:

\[ \text{Probability of selecting a vowel} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \]

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