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

The letters in "MISSISSIPPI" are as follows:

  • M: 1
  • I: 5
  • S: 4
  • P: 2

Now let's evaluate the options:

A) M and I

  • M appears 1 time, and I appears 5 times. They do not have equal chances.

B) M, I, and P

  • M appears 1 time, I appears 5 times, and P appears 2 times. They do not have equal chances.

C) M and P

  • M appears 1 time, and P appears 2 times. They do not have equal chances.

D) S and I

  • S appears 4 times, and I appears 5 times. They do not have equal chances.

None of the sets have equal chances of being selected. If a set must have equal frequencies for it to be a correct option, then the answer would be that no valid answer exists among the choices given, as every pair of letters analyzed shows unequal frequencies.
