Answer 1

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

The breakdown of the letters in "MISSISSIPPI" is as follows:

• M: 1
• I: 5
• S: 4
• P: 2

Now let's analyze the options:

1. S and I: S (4 occurrences) and I (5 occurrences) do not have equal chances since their frequencies are different.

2. M, I, and P: M (1 occurrence), I (5 occurrences), and P (2 occurrences) do not have equal chances since their frequencies are different.

3. M and P: M (1 occurrence) and P (2 occurrences) do not have equal chances since their frequencies are different.

4. M and I: M (1 occurrence) and I (5 occurrences) do not have equal chances since their frequencies are different.

Since none of the provided options contain pairs or sets of letters that have the same frequency, the answer is that none of the sets listed have equal chances of being selected.

However, if you meant to ask for two letters that have an equal chance of being selected, the answer would be that there are no such pairs in this case.
