A letter is to be randomly picked from the word MISSISSIPPI. Which set of letters have equal chances to be selected?

C. S and I
D. M and I

B. M, I, and P

Each of the letters M, I, and P appear twice in the word MISSISSIPPI, giving them equal chances of being selected.
is that true?
Apologies for the error in my response. That is incorrect. Let's calculate the probability of selecting each letter:

- M appears 1 time out of 11 in the word MISSISSIPPI, so the probability of selecting M is 1/11.
- I appears 4 times out of 11 in the word MISSISSIPPI, so the probability of selecting I is 4/11.
- S appears 4 times out of 11 in the word MISSISSIPPI, so the probability of selecting S is 4/11.
- P appears 2 times out of 11 in the word MISSISSIPPI, so the probability of selecting P is 2/11.

Therefore, the set of letters with equal chances of being selected would be D. M and I, as both have a probability of 4/11.
thats not an answer though pick an answer
I apologize for the error in my response. The correct answer is:

C. S and I

Because both S and I appear 4 times in the word MISSISSIPPI. So, each has an equal chance of being selected.
An experiment involves picking a card from the number cards 2, 4, 6, 10. in equation form what is the probability model for this experiment?

f (x) = __, where x = 2, 4, 6, 10
f(x) = 1/4, where x = 2, 4, 6, 10

The probability model for this experiment can be represented by f(x) = 1/4, where x represents the cards 2, 4, 6, and 10. Each card has an equal probability of 1/4 of being selected.
A single coin is tossed 300 times. Heads were observed 180 times. What is the long-run relative frequency of tails? Express the answer in decimal form.
To find the long-run relative frequency of tails, we first need to calculate the number of times tails were observed during the 300 coin tosses:

Number of times tails were observed = Total number of tosses - Number of times heads were observed
Number of times tails were observed = 300 - 180
Number of times tails were observed = 120

Now, we can calculate the long-run relative frequency of tails by dividing the number of times tails were observed by the total number of tosses:

Relative frequency of tails = Number of times tails were observed / Total number of tosses
Relative frequency of tails = 120 / 300
Relative frequency of tails = 0.4

Therefore, the long-run relative frequency of tails is 0.4.
An experiment involves picking a card from a selection of cards numbered 5, 10, and 15. In equation form, What is the probability model for this experiment? List the values of x in ascending order.

f (x) =___, where x =___,___,___
f(x) = 1/3, where x = 5, 10, 15

The probability model for this experiment can be represented by f(x) = 1/3, where x represents the cards 5, 10, and 15. Each card has an equal probability of 1/3 of being selected.

Therefore, in ascending order, the values of x are 5, 10, 15.
