Answer 1

To determine which set of letters has equal chances of being selected from the word "MISSISSIPPI," we need to analyze the frequency of each letter in the word.

The letters and their frequencies are as follows:

• M: 1
• I: 5
• S: 4
• P: 2

Now let's analyze the sets provided in the options:

1. M, I, and P - They have frequencies of 1, 5, and 2 respectively. Not equal.

2. M and I - They have frequencies of 1 and 5 respectively. Not equal.

3. S and I - They have frequencies of 4 and 5 respectively. Not equal.

4. M and P - They have frequencies of 1 and 2 respectively. Not equal.

None of the sets provided consist of letters that have equal chances to be selected, since the frequencies differ in each case.

However, if you meant to select letters from the same frequency category, then S and P would be more comparable, but none of the options given are valid based on equal chance criteria.

If you need the correct answer in the context of equal frequencies, there are no sets from the options provided. Would you like to clarify or rephrase your question?
