Answer 1

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

• M: 1
• I: 5
• S: 4
• P: 2

Now, let's analyze each response option:

1. M and I: M occurs 1 time, while I occurs 5 times. They do not have equal chances.
2. S and I: S occurs 4 times, while I occurs 5 times. They do not have equal chances.
3. M, I, and P: M occurs 1 time, I occurs 5 times, and P occurs 2 times. They do not have equal chances.
4. M and P: M occurs 1 time, while P occurs 2 times. They do not have equal chances.

None of the provided options contain letters with equal probabilities of selection.

Thus, technically, the answer is that there is no correct response among the given options, as none have equal chances to be selected based on their frequencies.
