r u sure

Answer 3

My apologies for the confusion. Let me reconsider the options.

In the word "MISSISSIPPI", the total number of letters is 11, with the breakdown as follows:
- M occurs 1 time
- I occurs 4 times
- S occurs 4 times
- P occurs 2 times

Therefore, the chance of selecting each letter is as follows:
- M: 1 in 11 (1/11)
- I: 4 in 11 (4/11)
- S: 4 in 11 (4/11)
- P: 2 in 11 (2/11)

Based on this analysis, the set of letters with equal chances to be selected are:
C. M, I, and P (each with a 1 in 11 or 1/11 chance)

Answer 4

Answer 5

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let me provide a correct analysis:

In the word "MISSISSIPPI," each letter has different numbers of occurrences:

- M appears once
- I appears four times
- S appears four times
- P appears two times

Therefore, the equal chances to be selected are the set of letters that appear the same number of times, which is:
D. M and P

Both M and P have only one occurrence in the word "MISSISSIPPI," so they have an equal chance of being selected.
